Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I don't read this newsgroup
regularly (so please reply by mail).

On our NeXT, the root filesystem continually fills up over a period of
several weeks until it runs out of space and work becomes impossible.
It's got nothing to do with /tmp filling up.  After a halt and reboot
(shutdown is not enough) everything is back to normal, i.e. about 
150M bytes on / are freed up.

Any clues what's going on and how to prevent it?
