I find that in latest 2.04 alpha1, writing to /dev/full doesn't fail with ENOSPC
as the info-page says. Example program:

----------------------------------------------------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/xdevices.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>

int main (void)
{
  const char *name = "/dev/full";
  FILE *fil;
  int   len;

  __install_dev_full();

  fil = fopen (name, "r+w");
  if (!fil)
  {
    perror ("fopen");
    return (-1);
  }

  errno = 0;
  len = fprintf (fil, "1234567890");
  if (len != 10)
     perror ("fprintf");

  printf ("%d bytes to %s, errno %d\n", len, name, errno);
  fclose (fil);
  return (0);
}

---------------------------------------------------------

I always get 10 bytes written and errno=0. 

Doesn't look like the problem is in fse_zero.c, but somewhere
higher up in the foodchain.
