When 7z runs out of disk space during an uncompress operation, it says:

ERROR: E_FAIL

I wish it said "Out of disk space". That way I would immediately know
why it failed.

P.S. Thanks for writing / packaging p7zip. I like it a lot.

Cheers,
Jason

Arg, that's a bad p7zip boy :) Thanks for noticing.

It is definitely a bug.

I'll have a look and forward this bug upstream.
