That's not the issue.

Could the "No space on device" message have been coming from the
server side? I ask because in googling about the 'No handlers could be
found for logger "bzr"'
message I read about cases where that error was in fact coming from
the server side, due to stale locks or unkilled ssh processes. Perhaps
the "no space" message I saw resulted form some intermittent problem
on savannah, and didn't actually originate on my machine?
