    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When saving a variable on a disk of limited size, and the disk runs out of
space during saving, no warning or error is given. Octave just returns to the
command prompt as if the save was successful.

Steps to repeat:
create a 10MB virtual drive (e.g. with veracrypt)


% create dummy variable that is bigger than 10MB
A = rand(1000,1000); % approx 20MB
save test.mat A
