Hello, there is a bug in the djgpp libc library.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
main()
{ printf("\032\n");
  fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", strerror(errno));
}

produces

No space left on drive (ENOSPC)

I checked that

  write(fileno(stdout),"\032\n",2);

Has the same effect.

[For people who may wonder why one would want to do the above, this is
the end result of trying to find the smallest example which shows a bug
occuring in the djgpp port of the ruby interpreter]

Best regards,
  Jean MICHEL
