[ale] bizarre error

[John Wells]

Ok, bear with me.  I've been coding for around 20 hours straight and running
solely on high powered espressos.  Around two hours ago, I abandoned putting
the grounds through the maker and started scooping spoonfuls into my mouth
;-).

Just as I was peaking on that adrenaline rush that only coding can bring, I
ran into some weird errors.  I ran across Boa-Constructor last night and
decided to install it and try it out while working on my latest project. 
However, as I was pulling down the latest code from cvs for wxPython, I got
a "no space left on device" error.

Hmm.  Didn't make sense, as I had quite a bit of room last time I checked. 
A quick df revealed the following:

[/home/jb]-)df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb3             7.5G  6.6G  598M  92% /
none                  124M     0  124M   0% /dev/shmt

Everything looks good.  However, when I try to do:

[/home/jb]-)mkdir test1
mkdir: cannot create directory 'test1': No space left on device

It seems I've run into this before but I have no idea what I did to resolve
it.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
John
