Comment(by Quozl):

 My gut feel was correct in Mikus' case, the datastore service has failed
 as result of failing to open broken absolute symbolic links on the SD
 hosted filesystem.  Nothing to do with size, everything to do with
 content.

 {{{
 1265886636.050616 ERROR root: Error while processing 'libflashplayer.so':
 OSError(2, 'No such file or directory')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/olpc/datastore/backingstore.py",
 line 805, in _walk
     stat = os.stat(source)
 OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/media/080b24e0-a27c-4f8d-

 }}}

 You should be able to start Terminal properly after checking for and
 removing every broken symlink.  ;-)  You can find them listed in
 datastore.log.

 For gypsymoth, there's no telling exactly what is on the filesystem to
 cause the problem.

 It should be possible to fix backingstore.py to not fail in this fashion.
