I can reproduce the problem without coreutils on Ubuntu 13.04 x86-64. Compile the following program with plain "gcc foo.c" and then run "./a.out >/dev/full"; it'll dump core the same way. So it appears that this is a bug in the C library, not in coreutils.
It's a fairly serious bug, I'd say. #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { static char io_buf[BUFSIZ]; if (fwrite (io_buf, 1, sizeof io_buf, stdout) != sizeof io_buf) { perror ("write error"); return 1; } return 0; } -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
