Package: qterminal
Version: 1.2.0-2
Severity: normal

After running rsync from an instance of qterminal, the /tmp/
filesystem was full:-

# df -h /tmp
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           984M  984M     0 100% /tmp

However, there were no files shown in /tmp/ using ls -l and 
lsof /tmp also only showed deleted entries. But df still showed no
available space and no new files could be created in /tmp/.

/tmp had the usual options:
findmnt /tmp gave

TARGET SOURCE FSTYPE OPTIONS
/tmp   tmpfs  tmpfs  rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,inode64

Closing the instance of qterminal released the memory:

# df -h /tmp
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           984M  100K  984M   1% /tmp

I do not know what was using the /tmp space, but presumably rsync.
Because this system has only about 2GB of RAM, the /tmp directory filled
up, although I thought it was supposed to start swapping in some (these?)
circumstances.

I am filling this against qterminal just because closing it corrected
the problem: perhaps some lock/mutex/semaphore was released?

I experimented with dd under a qterminal to fill /tmp/ and the deleted
the file and that worked properly. The /tmp/ storage was released.
