SIGXFSZ - Waikato Linux Users Group
This signal is raised when the maximum file size is exceeded, as configured by
ulimit(1)....

-----------------------------------------------

  So, there's two possibilities here: either you've hit a quota limit, or
you're using an older version of reiserfs (or perhaps glibc) that doesn't
support files >= 2Gb.  (According to http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html,
you need both a 2.4 series kernel and reiserfs v3.6 to use large file support)

  What does "ulimit -a" show you?
