Bug Description
when the /var partition is full, it seems that many programs and functions stop working, but do not provide any clues as to the cause
adept seems to crash because of this, clearing up /var manually appears to be a work-around
the kde menu editor won't save any changes when /var is full, but doesn't complain
probably many other programs need /var but don't complain if it is full and they cannot write
I found this because today I have a spare machine set up for evaluation with too small a /var partition
This isn't a security problem per se, but does affect availability and reliability.
