You're the first one to attempt to test this big queue code on IRIX,
so you are apparently the first to have run into this bug (and there
may be others).  We built a 10Gbyte queue on a Solaris system and
began ingesting products into it, but that's about the limit of
testing we have done on the big queue code.

However, I'm interested in debugging the above problem.  As a result
of your problem report, I just got a login on the dataproc.ucar.edu
machine, which is an IRIX64 platform with about 160 Gbytes of free
disk space in /tmp, so it should be adequate to debugging this
problem.

Thanks for the bug report, and I'll let you know if I can fix it.
Until then, I guess you'll have to get by with smaller queues.  I
would think that if 3 Gbytes works, then something a bit less than 4
GBytes should also work ...
