It sounds like the tmp directory used by the sort is on a filesystem with
low space as well.
Try setting TMPDIR to a filesystem with a lot of space before the find
statement. Make sure a tmp directory exists there first. Also, since the
file is growing now, reduce your find results to today's files:

# TMPDIR=/bigspace/tmp
# export TMPDIR
# find /d02 -xdev -mtime 0 -ls | sort +6 -nr | head -20

1 real quick & easy way - use this stmt to see 20 largest files on (/home)
and sort largest to smallest.

# find /home -xdev -ls | sort +6 -nr | head -20
