The tmpfs gets full because of a single page generated. The latest offender, according to the authors.db file, is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_and_communication_technologies_for_development please find out what happens as this is blocking production and requiring regular ops intervention.
I should have added that it fills up because a 32 gb pdf file gets generated.
This happened again, for the same article, this morning. See the Server Admin Log for the timing.
I strongly suspect this has to do with the ocg service trying to embed https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wireless_Networking_in_the_Developing_World_(WNDW)_Third_Edition.pd in the bundle/images/ dir I find one pdf file which is huge - it's a collection of scans in pdf form, which are ~ 188 MB each (per page).
As a stopgap solution, I added a <span class="noprint"> around the reference to the file, hoping this will stop the issues.

Should be fixed with https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/OCG/Deployments#2014-10-6_.28afternoon.29 Can't test quite yet since a crashed entry for [[Information and communication technologies for development]] is still in the status queue.
Fixed by https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/165632
