Most everyone told me that the reason the space wasn't reclaimed was due a process which
still had hold of the file. The general opinion was to use "lsof" (I got my copy from an
internal source, but I'm sure you can get it from your favorite ftp site). Sure enough,
lsof pointed to a process which I wasn't even aware of. Interesting point was that I
couldn't kill the process (even with a -9) until I recreated the file. After recreating
it I was able to kill the process.
