Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release

Description:
The command
  builtin printf foo > /dev/full
should exit nonzero, but currently does not.

Ideally such a failure would produce a diagnostic, too.
Contrast the above with echo, which does fail
as it should, but still no diagnostic.

Repeat-By:
  $ builtin printf foo > /dev/full && echo bug
  bug
  $ builtin echo   foo > /dev/full || echo ok
  ok

Fix:
        [Description of how to fix the problem.  If you don't know a
        fix for the problem, don't include this section.]
