Here's the script I used:

for ((i=0; i<2100; ++i)); do
   cp x FILE.$i
done

The "x" file is just under 1GB big. I expected the script to fail at roughly
the i=2000 mark.

At the i=1001 point, I just got a string of "... no space left on device."
messages from cp.

BTW - while this loop was executing, I was getting about 1GB/min via the cp
command. You say you're getting 1GB every 10 seconds. How are you doing it? 

The box I'm using is a 2 CPU XEON @2.4Ghz with 2G RAM running absolutely
stock FC1 - no patches whatsoever. I don't believe any patches would address
this issue.
