Thanks Julian,

As I said, I would upgrade as soon as possible, and I did remember all the 
posts and problems that were around for a while.

I had this problem licked once, with your help. I still don't understand how 
two machines that are essentially identical can behave so differently. This 
is what I'd really like to figure out about this problem.

Could there be an issue with email volume that contributes to this? The 
machine that fails (by filling up the root partition) has considerably more 
traffic than the one that doesn't.

I realize this is an old issue with such an old version, so if everyone 
feels like letting it fade away, I totally understand. I just don't know, 
though, when I can upgrade. No one wants to let me have the machines, we're 
24/7 here except for Sundays, and I'm not allowed to have overtime.

Anyway, thanks again.
