That is exactly what it was!
I've been building new kernels in /usr/local and just used up all the
space on root. I can't believe that I need more disk space!
I seems that this method of executing shell commands is also used in the
bash shell under X. Is there some reason for doing it this way? None of
this happens when I run at a text console.

Thanks for the help,
