There's a balance between band-aid fixing and making forward progress in 
improving things.  Honestly, you've spent more time writing emails 
trying to avoid adding special handling for ENOSPC than it would have 
taken to just update the original patch.

Reporting an IDE error on ENOSPC is just plain wrong.  It doesn't matter 
if already broken and you're just changing how it's broken.  It's not 
like it's a massive effort to update the patch.  I'll eventually get to 
it myself but it's a whole lot easier for you to just do it and then we 
can move on to more important things :-)
