[Rivet] --nskip not working?

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug report or if I don't understand the purpose of

--nskip.

If the purpose is to skip over the first --nskip events then there is a 
problem
in the logic:

         evtnum += 1

         ## Optional event skipping
         if evtnum <= opts.EVTSKIPNUM:
             continue

that simply increases the evtnum but does not skip over events.

I would like this feature for debugging analyses that fail for certain 
events.

Maybe something like run.skipEvent() or so that also reads in the hepmc
event but does not analyze.


Do you agree or am I overlooking something?


Thanks,
Holger
