There's 2 cases of issuing a break after a elog(ERROR),
both in the same loop.

And the comment could then be amended as well to just:
 No space found, file content is corrupted

Because (I presume) there's no returning of any value
going on.

But if the code does not exit the loop then
before calling elog(ERROR), shouldn't it
also call FreeFile(fd)?
