This error will be related to a "disk full" problem (I still vote
for meaningful error messages!).

When running orthorectification, GRASS internally generates at
least 1 temp-file in the mapset/.tmp/ directory. While
running the process, I suggest to run

watch df -h
in a second terminal window to find the partition which is
full (we have this problem here as well from time to time).

Note that leaving GRASS will cleanup this temp directory.

Only more space on hard drive or a reduced resolution will help.
