Check your incoming mail spool.  Some idiot may have sent a 70 MB mail
message, and by default mail.local will copy it to /tmp, which is on
the root file system on your machine.  I've committed a "fix" which
won't help much: it puts it on /var/tmp instead of /tmp, but your /var
is too small to handle it.
