	What du turns up is inconclusive;  my df / went from 99 to 100%
	in a few hours, and `find .... -ctime 1 ' also was unhelpful.
	What it was, evidently, was that over the past two months of 
	uptime, too many domains were cached.  ...After a reboot, 
	df / is only 34%.  

	thanks for your help,

	gary
