While running the application can only create a file but cannot write to any file

I have an application that writes to a log file and also creates other files as it runs. What I am seeing happening is in some rare cases, the application is running fine (creating and writing files and appending to the log file) and then suddenly the application can continue to create and delete files, but the application cannot write to a file. The log file stops writing in the middle of a line and other files that are created are 0 bytes because we could not write to them.
Rebooting the machine helps and we can create and write files with no issue. All affected machines are running either RHEL6 or CentOS 6.
Does anyone have any clue what might cause this behavior?

First thing I'd check was to see if the filesystem was full; was it?

The filesystem is not full. It is on a 100GB partition with only 7.3GB used.
