You didn't say what the file system type was (df -T).
This would mainly help us minimize the possible issues
(consider limits, quotas etc.).

You didn't say whether you could create any more files in the directory
after the csplit run.

open() is returning ENOSPC, which at first glance seems like
you might be running out of inodes.
