User cannot export csv

I have a user who cannot export a csv from the GUI after running an ad-hoc query. Results are only around 600 rows. In chrome the page returns an error loading (and dies), in IE it attemps to download a file name with a very long/URL-ish looking name - file fails to download.

I'm seeing the following error message in splunkd.

07-24-2012 12:56:39.110 +0000 ERROR DispatchSearch - blockingWrite() failed while exporting csv output

Anyone have any clue to what could be going on, or what the blockingWrite() method is doing?

thanks,

I'm having this issue as well but only on certain searches. Anyone got any ideas?
