When the /usr filesystem goes >90% (or is it 95%?) accounting shuts
itself off so that it (rememeber, accounting is done as root, which
doesn't stop writing at 100% full -- it stops at 110%, see the 4.2 filesystem
paper for an explanation) doesn't completely full up the disk.  You have
two possible solutions:

1) delete some stuff -- /usr always has too much junk in it

2) find a larger filesystem for /usr
