Finally had a chance to upgrade to 1.6.12: the new configuration is 
great; ./configure && make worked flawlessly on Redhat Linux 8.0 and 
Mac OS 10.2.4.

Then, I finally did it: filled up my backup disk.  I think hdup's 
handling of this case could be better: what it did is just terminated 
with no warnings or other messages (I'm not sure what the exit status 
was - in the future I'll keep track of this clue).  The tar file is 
there, but truncated, and the inclist file was created but empty -- a 
situation that could confuse future runs since it looks like a backup 
was done, but there is no trustworthy backed-up data.

In case it matters, I was running a local, monthly backup with -V.
