I'm 99% sure these files are coming out of the PFA started task. That's 
Predictive Failure Analysis. You might want to watch this:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/stgv1r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.iea.zos/zos/1.11/Availability/V1R11_PFA/player.html

and perhaps read here:

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/e0z1k130/2.1.3

But just as a SWAG, I'd say that your PFA started task does not have a large 
enough REGION= on it. Or, perhaps, the OMVS segment in RACF has too small an 
ASSIZEMAX. Or, z/OS UNIX is set up with too small a MAXASSIZE in the BPXPRMnn 
member of PARMLIB.

Well, my boss said to "get out of here!". So I'm gone until Wednesday.
