Nah, my nightly backup is about 30GB.  The problem this time was that
for some reason often sockets cannot be made with as long names as
ordinary files.  I think you got particularly unlucky because your
socket name was short enough to make it onto the mirror directory, but
long enough that adding the rdiff-backup-data/increment/...<time>
stuff pushed it over the edge.

Anyway, I committed what I think is a fix to cvs.  If I can bother you
to do more testing, please apply the patch at

http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/increment.py.diff?r1=1.27&r2=1.28

and tell me what goes wrong the next time :)
