HoneyDanBer UUCP apparantly checks free space before allowing a file to be
received, as can be seen in the following excerpt:

uucp vu-vlsi  (2/27-7:14:12,13434,119) REMOTE REQUESTED (vu-vlsi!D.vu-vlsiXQ1P0 --> devon!X.vu-vlsidQ1P3 (news))
news vu-vlsi  (2/27-7:14:13,13434,119) REMOTE TRANSFER DENIED -  (FREESPACE IS LOW)
uucp vu-vlsi  (2/27-7:14:23,13434,119) OK (conversation complete tty01 13737)
