Responding to Pierre's comments:

I appreciate the help, but I am using an external USB drive, not an
external firewire drive. The kernel patch only modifies the
ieee1394_core.c file, which is unused in my system.

Also, my error seems related to Fabian Sturm's report a couple of days
ago about 'no space left on device'. When I waited for the bulk copy
to stop, 'cp' reported no space available even though the partitian is
only 17% used.
