I've tried quite hard to push my box to crash, but I cannot seem to
replicate this error. After a while I got tired of trying so I setup
a script to

        while true; do sync; sleep 30; done

only to really make sure nothing bad would happen.

I've rebuilt a few packages now and everything is working smoothly
so far. Oh, btw, the error was not caused by either out of space
or too big partition. The partition is exactly 1024 MiB and I had
~400MiB left when the system crashed. RAM is 64MiB.
