tmpdir running out of space

Hello, everybody! I'm new to MySQL, and I hope somebody can help me. I have a 3.7G database and a 10G tmpdir. Sometimes the tmpdir runs out of space, and I get the following message on the logs: [ERROR] /usr/libexec/mysqld: Incorrect key file for table '/tmp/tmpdir/#sql_22f_33.MYI'
