'primary file was full' claimed by job when there is plenty space to grow

Hi,
Working on sql server 2000.
I have a job that pulls data from one server into this
server's database. It failed last time claiming the
primary file of the db was full while there were over 24
gig room to grow and the job will only pull in less than 2
gig data.
Then, I run it again serveral hours later, and everything
went through fine.
What happened? Ever encountered this wierd problem
yourself?
Many thanks.
