We run GNUemacs version 18.41 here, and we have been experiencing problems with
writing files to full partitions, or to NFS servers which can timeout.

SYNOPSIS:
	When I run on a SUN-3, if the partition is full, or the NFS write
	times out, or perhaps the create does, then GNUemacs will not
	report this error all the time.  This results in truncated (to zero
	length) or nonexistent files, and on a heavily loaded Ethernet,
	it can result in all versions of the file being lost.  Has
	anybody else out there seen this happen?
