There lies the problem.  It's not obvious, but I found some info out on =
the web eventually.  /tmp is mounted as a very small tmpfs.  Apparently =
it is overflowing.  Increasing the size from 50m to 128 m solved the =
problem.  I believe the default value in the distribution needs to be =
changed.  I'll file a PR although none of mine have ever received any =
attention.
