I dont know... normally people would redirect in a file somewhere else (You dont have just that filesystem do you?) where space isnt an issue then overwrite...
Im saying that because most editing utilities would create a temorary file in /tmp or /var/tmp... if you are that stuck you will have to do some cleaning up first then
