There was a commit yesterday to increase the size of /tmp, which was
related to pkg needing more space.  I wonder if that's what you're
running into?  I think they upped it to 50m, but that doesn't seem like
a big enough /tmp for everyday use to me (but apparently it's big
enough for pkg).  Try increasing the /tmp size in /etc/fstab.
