The usual case is a directory which has a lot of files (usually small,
otherwise the FS will hit in size limits). An example might be empty log
files.
The best way to find problematic directory is to look for a large
directory. Don't mix between the directory size itself, and the size of
it's contents.
a small example to clarify:
$ ls -ld /tmp/inode-test/
drwxr-xr-x 2 kaplan kaplan 1024 2007-12-28 02:20 /tmp/inode-test/
$ for i in {1..5000}; do
> touch /tmp/inode-test/$i
> done
$ ls -ld /tmp/inode-test/
drwxr-xr-x 2 kaplan kaplan 60416 2007-12-28 02:29 /tmp/inode-test/
Notice the directory size, while each of the files in it is 0 in size.

Good luck.
