	Yes, but has the "file system full" bug been fixed. This is becoming
an increasing problem in large NFS server/WS based environments, since the
editing is being done on the WS, but the file gets trashed on the server.
Furthermore, the server copy is completely trashed (size = 0) rather than just
losing the changes made in that editing session.
