Good catch, that is probably it. Some parts of the directory code still
do not allow for larger directories than 256KB (specifically the part
where it is stored in RVM). I made the directory code fail 'gracefully',
but clearly the higher layers don't expect failing directory operations,
so the end result is still an assertion that is triggered and not a nice
ENOSPC error or something.
