Bug#239758: debian-installer: tmpfs disk gets full when trying bootstrapping again

[Ove Kaaven <ovek@arcticnet.no>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

If I try to install the base system, and it fails for some reason
(like exim not configuring), and then I in the mindframe of either

1) an optimistic user, thinking "well maybe if I try again"
or
2) an curious user that don't know where the logs are, hence
decides to try again and pay attention to tty3 this time

goes back to installing it *again*, after first deleting and
recreating the partition (since not doing so results in errors
from awk installation), then the following error message
results on tty3:

tar: Write Error: No space left on device

and "df" indeed shows the tmpfs to be full.
