this probably isn't the best place to mention this, but i'm tired and
it's the quickest place to mention it. i solved my problem by linking
/tmp to a fs with more space. but if any ximian people are reading this
then maybe this will be of some help. good luck!
system: i386 redhat 6.2 + updates. rpm version 3.0.5.
problem: runs out of space on /
reason: there's an fd leak. /proc/pid.of.installer/fd listing looks
like the following in the middle of an install.
[root roo /tmp.old]# \ls -l /proc/21461/fd/
