cpfind crash eats up disk space, can't recover (os x catalina)

[piccolbo]

Hi,

I was trying to push the limits with a 33 stacks of 7 panorama.  I run cpfind just fine, but there were quite  a few false matches in the sky. So I tried cpfind + celeste. The log showed some progress was made, but too slow and eventually os x complained about running out of app memory. So i had to kill Hugin. At the same time a window popped up warning me that I had no disk space left. By heart I think I was around 30G free before. I normally take action when I am below that, so it's a bit more than a guess.  I can't find where the disk space went. Looked into /var /private don't see anything out of the norm. Of course the current directory as well. I read Hugin has a setting for that but it's left empty in my instance. The settings window itself said that if left empty it's going to use a system default. Nobody seems to know what the OS X default is, and I suspect there isn't a single one.  Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
