The SZ|DV column of 'fstat' will give the size of open files, so
try sorting the output:

	fstat -f / | sort +7 -n

If the large file shows up, then you've then got the process id
from PID, the open mode from R/W and you can get the filename using
the INUM column:

	find / -inum $INUM


Good luck,
Chris
