FreeBSD-4.4R, a file in /var/log keeps filling up the FS. Newsyslog
solution has been implemented, however, the question remains.

According to the Handbook article on "output from df vs. du", the cause
for the mismatch in the outputs is the fact that there's a process with
the lock on the file.
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#DU-VS-DF

However, doing a kill -HUP on the offending daemon doesn't help. In fact,
HUPping each and every one of the entries in "ps -ax" doesn't work.
Rebooting seems to be the only solution at this point. Needless to say,
that is not a desirable solution.

Ideas?

Thank you.
             Sincerely,
                         Dennis K.
