'File too large' mail delivery error

What could cause Postfix/Dovecot to suddenly start failing to deliver
mail and issue this error message in the /var/log/maillog:


Sep 30 09:45:24 scorpio postfix/local[1439]: 80E65C613: to=<gerard-gmail@localho
st.seibercom.net>, relay=local, delay=6.5, delays=6.4/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=5.2.2, st
atus=bounced (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/gerard-gmail for user gerard-gmail
. error writing message: File too large)


The dovecot.log had similar entries. A total of 122 messages were hung
up before I caught it.

The mailbox was 49M in size; however, it has been far larger and yet
never was any problem encountered. I had to remove all of the mail
before delivery would start again. Other than upgrading to FreeBSD 6.1
P8 yesterday, nothing has changed on the system.
