I've been going over the indexing code using different scenarios and I may
have isolated a candidate for what is causing this.  Could you do one more
'svn update' inside the maker devel directory before running a test job?

Thanks,
Carson

Got this from the compute node. Looks like native disk space to me.

[dstandag at mason ~] df /tmp
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1            478573472  12319684 441943620   3% /tmp

Installing a bundle of Perl prereqs for development version, will try that
soon.
