That message contains a bit of a misnomer -- the file in question is
actually the new version of the RCS file (that is, once it's
successfully written, ,filename.bin gets renamed to filename.bin,v).

Perhaps you have filesystem quotas enabled that prevent creating files
larger than that? Try changing the relevant line in rcs.c
(rcs_internal_unlockfile) from:
error (1, 0, "error writing to lock file %s", rcs_lockfile);
to:
error (1, errno, "error writing to lock file %s", rcs_lockfile);
There's no guarantee that errno will still be meaningful by then, but
it's worth a try.
