Oh, yes, that's where gdbm calls abort() or exit() or something like that. 
That's a problem in the gdbm code (we call gdbm write, the disk is full, gdbm 
kills gnunetd instead of just returning an error code). Except for checking 
if the disk is full (which may be difficult since we can't tell by how much 
gdbm will grow) we can't do much about this. Adding some extra checks that 
disable migration completely once only, say 5 MB are left on the drive might 
be an option. But the current crash that occurs if the disk is full is 
definitely a problem in the gdbm code (and a problem with the user since the 
quota specified was obviously too large :-)
