It happened to us when compiling a graphics program that compiled fine under
3.2 (4D/25TG) and didn't under 3.3 (4D/340VGX). It turned out that /tmp was
filling up with temporary files written by ugen, if I recall correctly. We
expanded /tmp using a link to /usr/tmp (the perils of doing this sort of thing
have been previously discussed on this network), and now the programs compile
just fine.
