NAMD disk writes and quota overflow

Hi,

I have found that when disk quota is reached or closely approached, that NAMD
log files become corrupted and sometimes the .dcd files. The log files
will have ^@ characters in them, before the job shuts down. Often
times, the log
files will become readable again shortly before the job shuts down.

Other then more closely monitoring my disk quota, is there anyway to
NAMD to fail
on disk write errors without corrupting the files?
