Just by the by, that sort of thing is typical if /tmp isn't writable to,
or has the wrong permissions. You *could* have two problemsm /tmp plus
your huge log issue.
[tim@gonzales ~]$ ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 32 root root 4096 2008-10-27 15:57 /tmp/
[root@Hbsk2 btth]# ls -ld /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt 46 root root 4096 2008-10-27 12:07 /tmp/

[tim@gonzales ~]$ ls -ldZ /tmp/
drwxrwxrwt root root system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 /tmp/
