I'm about ready to submit my patch but I wanted to mention a couple of other features. One is a bit more robust output if you uncomment the print line in the loop so that it says something like:
record: 4000012 20 of 63979
record: 4000011 21 of 63979
record: 4000010 22 of 63979
record: 4000009 23 of 63979
record: 4000008 24 of 63979
record: 4000007 25 of 63979
record: 4000006 26 of 63979
That way you can capture output to a log or it gives more information if you're doing it manually in a screen session.
I've also added a bit of a tweak to have it do bibs newest to oldest under the assumption that newest tend to be most important for a lot of users and that some order is better than random. If people are fine with random of course it really doesn't make any difference to them.
Jane,
