 Thanks, that's exactly what my experience tells me (although
 32MB is the absolute minimum).
 
 And I found the reason of this trouble: a >26MB core file in /.
 This was due to an (unfortunately) unreproducible segfault of dpkg
 (which I forgot to mention in my original mail, and which occurred
 before the root partition ran out of space).
