Subject: trapping a full disk
Message-ID: <411@cod.UUCP>

I have a program which consumes massive amounts of dynamic memory.
The inevitable problem is that the disk fills up and the program
stops.  It seems the new and rws_$alloc procedures don't detect
that the disk is full.  The fault occurs when the pointer is dereferenced.  
I have been able to trap this fault, but I haven't been
able to do anything about it.  When I dispose of some memory and
return from the fault handler with the  value pfm_$return_to_faulting_code
the process dies without a clue as to what happened.

Any suggestions about how to deal with this?
