Aha! Then this might be fixed in hamm:
On my machine running bo:
$ ulimit
1048576
On my machine running hamm:
$ ulimit
unlimited
I ran out of space at 1GB on the bo machine, but I don't have space to
check this on the hamm machine. Did anyone here run into a 1GB limit
on a hamm machine?

P.S. There doesn't seem to be sufficient difference between
/etc/login.defs on the two machines to account for this.
