I would suggest changing this to
if (((count_messages + count_skipped) % STATS_INTERVAL) == 0)
but otherwise, everything looks good

Although I'm on board with replacing these assert() calls, this change risks silently discarding indicators of a potentially serious upstream issue.
Preferable alternatives would be:
- exit with a failure code rather than
abort()on bad data, - count bad data, and exit with a failure code if
count_skipped > 0, or - option 1, but with logging.
I would be open to making "skip and count invalid messages" a configurable non-default behavior.

Replaces fatal assert() crashes on invalid records (missing or empty rrname/bailiwick/...) with per-record skip so conversion continues past bad data. And add count_skipped counter reported alongside count_messages.
