That's just the temporary buffer. The writing to disk takes place in the 
FileHandler class which uses the KSaveFile class, which is supposed to 
guarantee atomically (all or nothing). Your results say that it is not 
working.

From the API doc, maybe I need to call saveFile.flush() before callign 
saveFile.finalize(). I'm not sure, though.

But the intent is to have the check for file system space in there.
