Nah, the machine has more disk than we really know what to do with, and it's
certainly not running out of RAM.  As Jesse said, the thread on rt-devel
contained some of the answers to my questions -- it's a problem with the way
the queries are being created.

Short of hacking on it (DBIx::SearchBuilder, I think) myself, I'm going to
hope that the guys who are already working on it come up with a good
solution soon :-)
