[he deleted a large *open* file which is giving him endless hell]

It would probably help to have some kind of disk editor to prowl
around the directory and free block entries on the disk to manually
fix things.  It problem sounds like the file is allocated for (oh boy
is it allocated :-) but that is all, no filename, nothing.  Have you
tried any of the more advanced ( > fsck) utilities that may have some
with your system?  The goal I believe is to get the system to reclaim
those allocated disk blocks.  As a last resort, I would also think
that since you say you are the only one who uses that machine, a
reformat (gasp!)  isn't as far out of the question as on other
systems.

			Good luck...
