Package: mawk
Version: 1.2.2-1
Mawk doesn't report an error when writing to a full filesystem:
$ mawk '{print}' < /etc/motd > /dev/full
$ echo $?
0
Probably no write error is catched. Gawk does it's job correct:
$ gawk '{print}' < /etc/motd > /dev/full
gawk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=9) warning: error writing standard output (No space left on device)
