Bug#684723: xauth: Some times corrupts my .Xauthority file when disk quota is exceeded

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Package: xauth
Version: 1:1.0.4-1

Some times my home directory is unwritable because my user exceed the
disk quota set on it.  And some times when this happen, I loose my
Xauthority key needed to run X programs.  The sad end result can be
verified like this:

  % xhost 
  No protocol specified
  xhost:  unable to open display ":0"
  % 

Can xauth be made more robust, to make sure it do not kill my
.Xauthority file when I exceed my disk quota?
