Thanks to all who replied, but it was not a process problem, since I 
tried rebooting it (you like to play, or not, right?).

Nice, you point the problem, it seem:

# df -i
Sys. de fichiers Inœuds IUtil. ILibre IUti% Monté sur

I guess that I need to delete files to have a temporary resolution of 
the problem, but how can I avoid it to come back?
