so after about a week and a half of firewall messages and normal logging
messages, my /var fills up.  i scan through all the logrotated <log>.gz
files for anything interesting and then i remove them.  the thing is the
/bin/df output shows that /var is still above 100%.  This means i can't
send or receive mail or anything interesting like that.  i reboot and then
everything is ok.

/var is it's own slice with like 20M
FreeBSD 4.3

Has anyone else seen this problem
