I tried the newest patch, but it does not seem to work for me (on Linux). Despite the check in Rconn_printf, the write.csv happily writes to /dev/full and does not report an error. When I added a printf("%d\n", res); to the Rconn_printf() definition, I see only positive values returned by the vfprintf call. Cheers, j.

Writes are buffered, and the error doesn't happen until the buffer is written. The regression test I put in had this problem; I'm working on MacOS and Windows, so I never got to actually try it before committing. Unfortunately, it doesn't look possible to catch the final flush of the buffer when the connection is closed, so small writes won't trigger any error. It's also possible that whatever system you're on doesn't signal an error when the write fails.

OK, this does indeed seem to be the case. It is interesting that it works on MacOS, though. I think that given that errors on flushing the cache cannot be caught, the behavior is inadvertently unpredictable. best, j.

Small and medium sized writings on /dev/full don't trigger error and 1MB does. But if fprintf() is used, it returns a negative value from the very first byte written.
