** Tags added: apport-collected ubiquity-2.9.4

** Description changed:

  Installed the 03-Dec-2011 daily live image (using erase all and use
  whole disk) and got a crash near the end of the installation (100%
  reproducible).
  
  The logs mention "No space left on device" a couple of times, though the
  target disk had plenty of free space left (I tested this with
  VirtualBox' dynamically growing virtual HDD as well as with the static
  full-sized HDD).
