Is it possible that your apache process doesn't have write access
to the working dir in which the diff was executed?

That error message means "tried to create tmp.1, tmp.2, tmp.3, ...
tmp.999999, and couldn't create any of them".

Another possibility is that something has been leaving those temp
files behind, but I suspect that if you had one million leaked inodes
you'd know about it. :-)
