For some reason I recently got alert-mails that my /var filesystem was
full, while there was only about 15MB of data on it. The filesystem is
60MB, so that should fit quite easily.

I'm almost nearing the alert-mail situation again, so I'd appreciate if 
someone could tell me what is going on here...

The computer in distress is a FreeBSD 4.3 (STABLE) box. [I think it will
get an upgrade with the release of 4.5]

As root I get this output:

>pwd
/var

>du -d 2 -k

Now let's hope the filesystem doesn't fill up while I'm not available,
causing all your useful replies to bounce :/

              The difference between your legs and your bicycle is
              that when they are in bad shape it is unwise to give
              your bicycle more training.
