Hi all, these are the last entries in my log, but my bridge is still listed on Atlas and client functionality is fine. Latest stable version on OSX10.4. Needless to say, the disk is not full and 'tor' can write to that directory just fine now.

Is it possible you have a disk or user quota setup?

Question is whether it was full (or out of quota) at the time of these messages. MacOS has/had a habit of throwing a few GB on the disk and then removing them again.

It would have to have been several tens of GB - nothing else running at the time threw an error either. I'll try a HUP as suggested.

Yes, once Tor has failed to write to its log file, that file descriptor is essentially broken until you instruct Tor to try again. If you send Tor a HUP signal, it will reset a bunch of things, including its logs.
I would assume that it really did run out of space, if only for that moment.
That said, OSX10.4 is Tiger, right? The one that became unsupported over seven years ago? (But let's not make this thread about whether it's morally appropriate to run obsolete OSes -- except to acknowledge that maybe it has bugs in it.)
