Package: mawk
Version: 1.2.2-1

Mawk doesn't report an error when writing to a full filesystem:

        $ mawk '{print}' < /etc/motd > /dev/full
        $ echo $?
        0

Probably no write error is catched. Gawk does it's job correct:

        $ gawk '{print}' < /etc/motd > /dev/full
        gawk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=9) warning: error writing standard 
output (No space left on device)

Regards
        Herbert.
