That said, there is probably something else going on here. Logs
on a tmpfs, maybe?
That's the usual issue. The /tmp filesystem is usually configured to live in RAM,
at some point an application needed to use lots of it. It may not have freed it properly
from dying or maybe it's still running, or just misbehaving :-)
If this happens often, consider building a larger /tmp in a real filesystem on a real drive.
