use jar x ##.jar in a file system that is close to full

EVALUATION The VM should probably throw an IOException with a more descriptive detail message indicating that the file system is out of space, as this is the only way for Java code to tell one I/O error from another. This is a specific instance of the more general problem that we need a more descriptive I/O exception hierarchy. Note that in JDK 1.2 we at least have more descriptive detail strings (see 4167937).
