Two things:

   - Do you have some kind of "member activity tracking" code which
     would be writing into the member folder on each request?

   - You need to run with a python which is enabled for large files.
     E.g., try:

      $ /path/to/bin/python \
        /path/to/lib/python2.3/tests/test_largefile.py

     If that shows any errors, you need to use a different python
     (the "recommended best practice" is to use a separate python
      from the one which your OS vendor ships, anyway).
