[olug] Argh!

[Adam Lassek]

The configuration files for the applications that were running at the
time have a filesize of 0. In this case, all the configuration files for
Mozilla and gftp are blank. Interestingly, Evolution didn't do this.
These apps must be trying to update their config files on closing, but
it seems really dumb that they would erase them if the filesystem is
full. This is not the only time this had happened to me, either.
