Closing Chrome with zero disk space causes Last Session and Last Tabs to be empty

Reported by alexande...@gmail.com, Sep 15 2016

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 52.0.2743.116
OS Version: OS X 10.10.5
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested:
  Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
     Safari 5:
  Firefox 4.x:
     IE 7/8/9:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Chrome with some tabs reloading from a previous session
2. Exhaust disk space until Finder reports Zero bytes free space left
3. Close Chrome

What is the expected result?
Files "Last Session" and "Last Tabs" contain the same information they held before disk space was exhausted

What happens instead of that?
Files "Last Session" and "Last Tabs" are empty, starting Chrome again reopens no previous tabs.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

I'm not sure what can be done about this. I'm guessing Chrome saves tab session info on quit. On quit there was no space, so it was not possible to save session info.
Right, but why clear those backup files? A check should be done first to see if the current session's contents can be saved. If not, it shouldn't try to overwrite the previous ones, as that seems to initiate a file write (clearing the previous one) and then failing to write any bytes. Bottom line, there is a previous session stored to disk at the time of opening Chrome, that state shouldn't be replaced with zero bytes.

If you're out of disk space bad things are going to happen. There isn't much we can do about that.
