That is the error code I would return if I was checking for this
error.  If I get a chance I will make the program more robust
seeing as people are actually using it.

Ok, I am sending you a new version (untested except to make sure
it still produces the right size output file).  It should return
1 if it runs out of disk space, but I couldn't be bothered trying
to fill up 40 megs worth of disk space to see if it does.
