I'm running FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE on one of my systems, and I am having
problems with the /var filesystem filling up.  When I run du says that
it has 2.5MB of files in it, right now, when I run df, it says that /var
is 39% full (it is a 50MB filesystem).  What's going on?  It's filled up
twice before and it takes a reboot to get a more appropriate answer from
df.  Any help I get will be appreciated.
