Ah, part of the problem may be the above.
256000 Megabytes does not always equate to the free disk space (~300,000
Mibibytes). one of the rules of thumb is to leave 10% to 20% disk space
free for system use (directory tables and journals).

Aha.

As a side issue: know who the maintainer is for slackware? I'm trying to
get in touch with them all.

Yes, we have seen a similar thing long ago in testing. I'm trying to
remember and research what came of those. At present I'm thinking maybe it
had something to do with 32-bit/64-bit changes in distro build vs what the
cache was built with.
