Operation not permitted hints at a limit being hit, looking at when write(2) 
can fail, I'd guess:
[EDQUOT]           The user's quota of disk blocks on the file system
                        containing the file has been exhausted.

[EFBIG]            An attempt was made to write a file that exceeds the
                        process's file size limit or the maximum file size.

But then again this can be a translated error by the makemap utility that has 
a totally different cause.
