As I was writing I figured it out, I think.  Check your kernel 
configuration for MAXDSIZ.  Hmmm.  LINT says the default is 128 
Megabytes, but I believe my /tmp was only 32M bytes before I changed it.


I've seen similar things.  On my 2.2.6-BETA machine:

servalan$ df -k /tmp
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
mfs:27         127151        1   116978     0%    /tmp
servalan$ swapinfo
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/sd0b      131072     9396   121612     7%    Interleaved
/dev/sd1b      131072     9280   121728     7%    Interleaved
Total          262016    18676   243340     7%

Well, OK, I'm not surprised at this, since fstab has only:

servalan$ grep tmp /etc/fstab
/dev/sd0s1b                     /tmp            mfs     rw 0 0

But I have another machine running 3.0-971006-SNAP:

set$ df -k /tmp
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
mfs:22         253703      703   232704     0%    /tmp
set$ swapinfo
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/wd0s1b    512000    60132   451804    12%    Interleaved
set$ grep tmp /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0s1b             /tmp            mfs     rw              0       0

Woops!  I think I found it, in my kernel configuration file:

options         "MAXMEM=(512*1024)"
options         "MAXDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"
options         "DFLDSIZ=(256*1024*1024)"

I bet that MAXDSIZ limits the size of the mfs process.  Check yours.
