Great :-)

It's fine the way it is. This isn't a problem when the content handler
restarts the crashed app as you described above. It would only have been
a problem when a crashed OfficeReader would cause all queued jobs to fail.

As you wrote in your other e-mail, not when there has been a
configuration error. Backend.can_process only checks the job against the
configuration, not against what it can actually do.

Hmmm... there's room for improvement here...
