Here's a sanatized stack trace off my web server:

    import cgitb
  File ".../py34/lib/python3.4/cgitb.py", line 24, in
    import inspect

EOFError: marshal data too short


It worked this morning, and does this now.  I hadn't changed anything.

The only reference I find on Google seems to be related to out-of-disk-space, so I cleaned up some files, but I'm not sure of how the web server mounts things; df didn't show particularly high usage in any of the disks it reported on.

The files I cleaned up are ever-growing log files that I need to clean up now and then manually, but cleaning them up didn't help... and df wasn't complaining anyway. So maybe out-of-disk-space is a red herring, or only one cause of this symptom.

When I log in to the web server with Putty, I can run Python at the command prompt, and "import dis" suffices to reproduce the problem.

Are there other causes of this symptom than out-of-disk-space? If it is out-of-disk-space, how could one determine which disk?

Maybe if not really out of space, it is a bad permission, disallowing creation of a temporary file? But how could one determine which temporary file, and where it would be written?
