Lazarus svn r35704
FPC svn r20468
Kubuntu 11.10 x86

Whenever I try to execute from desktop shortcut (.desktop) or double-clicking associated file, I got "Disk full" message box. I've n-tuple checked whether there are other Lazarus/FPC installed but `which` seems to point to the correct instance and `find` reveals no other installation exists. I have EasyDockMgdDsgn installed and I though it was the problem. Uninstalling allows me to execute the IDE but after 1 minute that message comes again, so I guess it's not the package. Furthermore, if I try to install any package from "install/uninstall package" dialog, just by pressing install (not "save and rebuild/just save", normally the dialog won't close) it will close the dialog and the whole IDE is frozen. The weird thing, when I try to execute from terminal (in order to see debug messages), it runs fine. No error messages, with all packages installed.

"Disk full" reminds me of an ugly bug I once had in a plugin dll made with FPC on windows when there was no stdout and I had a writeln() somewhere deep inside my code. But I have never seen something like this happening on linux. Maybe KDE finally found a way to remove stdio from processes started without terminal? Just a wild guess...

A reboot fixes the issue :) Though I'm still curious why...

An oversized tmp file?
Some bugs just fill up the disk with rubbish. But if they fill up temporary file, a reboot solves the problem.
