I think I stumbled on a vi bug:

When /tmp gets full, vi will abort with a message telling what happened.
Unfortunately, it leaves /var/tmp/vi.recover files sitting around:

# ls -l
total 21504
-rwx------  1 root  bin        0 Jan 27 19:16 vi.006980
-rwx------  1 root  bin        0 Jan 27 19:16 vi.006982
-rwx------  1 root  bin  7307264 Jan 27 19:18 vi.006985
-rwx------  1 root  bin  3817472 Jan 27 19:56 vi.007269

In my case /var is on the root fs (as is /tmp). I'd think when vi
aborts it can safely rm the recover files (an edit session was
never started in the first place, so a recover is not called for).

Thoughts?
