This isn't a new problem to us.
We see it regularly. In *most* cases (but I can't say *ALL*) it is
because of swap files for UMLs that are no longer running, but for which
there are T-linux processes hanging around.
kill -9/-CONT/etc. them and the disk space comes back.
Most of the time.
(this relates to the thread where we read /proc/XXX/environ, and so
couldn't recognize that the processes could be killed, and also to the
thread where i complained about having to -CONT a process before it
could be -9'ed)
