What *can* happen is that you can run out of "large" blocks. The BSD-style filesystem stores files bigger than 8k in blocks made up of 8 contiguous 1k blocks. If the filesystem is nearly full, or contains a large number of small files, you can find that it's impossible to create any more files > 8k, even though there appears to be plenty of free space, because the space is too fragmented. I don't think that's what's happening here, though, since I've only ever seen it happen when the filesystem was about 99% full.
