What were you trying to do?
	Run packf, to pack messages in an NMH folder into a single
	message file.

What's wrong:
	packf did not detect and report that it failed to write the
	message file, because it exceeded the AFS volume quota.  It
	exited with a status of 0, leaving an empty message file.

What should have happened:
	packf should have reported the failure to write the file, and
	exited with a non-0 status.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	packf(1)
