These errors have to do with available disk space (or a problem with 
the temporary file directory) rather than RAM.  The fallocate() 
function does this: "preallocate or deallocate space to a file".  If 
the filesystem (presumably where temporary files reside) does not 
support the pre-allocation capability, or the directory is too full, 
or the file does not exist, then the request will fail.

The ftruncate() error implies that the directory is full.

The mention of a file name 'file' suggests that the software is not 
even using a correct file path and might in fact just be using the 
name 'file'.
