Comment (by Michi Henning <michi.henning@…>):

 Just to be clear: the sole purpose of creating a file is to write to it.
 If the file can't be written to, there is no point in having the file. So,
 if a write fails for any reason AND the file is empty at that point,
 unlink the file. If the file has some contents at that point already, by
 all means, keep it. As far as I can see, that would get rid of the empty
 files.
