I the "olden" days, I often recommended a separate partition for /var and /tmp to prevent this sort of thing. Now with hard drive space so plentiful it happens much less often.
I wonder if we could create a daemon that would monitor hard drive space and at least notify when nearing a problem state. Possibly, clearing cache and tmp in the process.
I currently configure my tmpfs into RAM/swap space so it's cleared at every reboot.
