Dear Ethan, the simplest solution to solve your problem would be to use the bootstrap command of PSN (http://psn.sourceforge.net/). With PSN installed you would simply do:
bootstrap final_model.mod -samples=200 PSN would take care of unsuccessful runs and provide a nice summary of the individual estimates.
