Well, I've rebooted the machine.  (That restarts all processes,
right?)  Somehow that freed up about 6 gig of free space.  There are
no logs kept on this partition, so I don't know what got freed up.
There are still 14 gig that have mysteriously vanished.

I'm wondering if it is the Reiserfs transaction log doing something
weird.
