I don't know if VMS has this problem, but it used to be (and
probably still is) on Windows:

Programs do 32 bit arithmetic computing the available disk space
(or RAM space), and, when it wraps to a negative value decide
that there isn't enough space. That might be especially true
for older programs, before 4GB disks were common.

It might be writing a temporary disk file to wherever they go,
(possibly from an environment variable), so you might check
that out, too.
