Filling /tmp when it's a separate partition is much less
dangerous to the running system than filling /var (keep
in mind /var/log, /var/run, /var/spool and /var/tmp are
located here!). It gets worse when /var is on the same
partition as /. For memory-backed /tmp the swap mechanism
will be activated when RAM is fully in use. And when you
have occupied both RAM and swap, you have a bigger problem
than just your "log distillator" not working. :-)
