Someone doesn't have a  GST_DEBUG=*:5 log of these failures by any chance?

Not sure what's happening here. The handling looks ok to me: it writes to a
temp file, and checks the return values of write/fsync/close and removes the
partial/broken temp file if there was an error (there's a code path where the
broken temp file isn't removed, but I don't see how that could have any bad
side-effects).

I have tried to reproduce this using:

  $ mkdir ~/tinyfs
  $ sudo mount -osize=400k tmpfs ~/tinyfs/ -t tmpfs
  $ GST_REGISTRY=/home/tpm/tinyfs/registry.test gst-inspect-0.10 audiotestsrc

but only get the ERROR messages in the debug log (and a left-over temp file
which should have been removed) Subsequent calls fail in the same way.
