Binscii did the same thing to my hard disk.  If you unpack a file to
an almost full first partition, it just overwrites the partition map
andkeeps going rather than reporting a disk full error as it should.
I had to repartition the disk and restore the thing from backups.  

Beware of BINCII on almost full partitions!
