  Watch out for this problem in filio using the Beta Pascal by Think:
When the disk is nearly full, open a file for output (rewrite it) and
start writing stuff into it.  I just happened to be using text at the
time.  On one occasion, after a HUGE amount of disk activity, the Mac
informed me that my disk was full.  Three other times, though, the
disk just spun happily away at a constant speed until I reset the system.
