opendir(somedir/somefile): Not enough space -- why?

[Bill Geddes]

Am I running out of memory on the source server?  Seems perhaps more
plausible than on the client - it has nothing going on and 1Gb RAM.
The server has rsync version 2.5.5.  The client has 2.5.6.

I am currently mounting the server directory via NFS, and using rsync to
copy from the mounted directory to the target.  Slow, but it is running!
