Hi,
Yes, this is a bug. But given the preponderance of code that
does not check each and every printf (most checks being done at fopen
time), it is safe to say that it is common assumption that partition
full errors are uncommon, and may cause silent errors, at least for
files that had been opened for writing.
It would be nice if every printf statement return value was
paid attention to, yes, but is a lot of effort for one uncommon
corner case.
