filling the cwfs cache causes the front to fall off #64

if the cwfs cache is full, newly written blocks will be silently zeroed (it 
should error out instead)
dump will cause cwfs to panic

In a discussion in IRC last night, an opinion was put forward that letting it 
fail like this may be the only option. By the time the cache failure happens, 
the write has already succeeded.

Further reasoning was put forward as to why CWFS does not dump the moment the 
cache is full: Cache filling may very well be a symptom of a runaway process. 
You wouldn't want all the spew of a runaway process in your dump.
