Larry,

This is just a guess, and a wild one, I just quickly looked at the 
sources of cgi.py and so on.
You seem to be using *nix, and cgi.py's make_file method seems not to be 
overriden by zope, so it uses the tempfile module to create a temporary 
file, in which read_lines_to_outerboundary wants to write.

tempfile.py in turn seems to search for a fitting (working) tempdir in
['/tmp', '/var/tmp', '/usr/tmp', pwd].

So, it might be that you just have not enough space on the partition 
which gets used to store this temporary file. Have you checked that?

ok, that was my guess ;-)


cheers,
