Hmm.  The closest I have to that is a 43 Gigabyte sqlite database which works 
fine.  In that case almost all the space is taken up by one thin table which 
has a ridiculous number of rows.

I assume that those are what 'ls' is showing you.  Have you tried using 'lsof' 
or 'strace' ?  Or monitoring the amount of free space on the disk to see if 
it's shrinking ?
