SUMMARY: file system full

Question is below.
The easiest solution since this was not a data important system was to
repartition the disk. Make sure there is a dedicated slice for /tmp.
The problem was I had one large / slice, processes were filling up the /tmp
not letting me issue any more commands and then the "fork" error was
received.
