Possible bug: ext3 misreporting filesystem usage

[Calvin Spealman]

I've been getting a possible bug after running my system a few weeks. The
ext3 partition's usage is being misreported. Right now, df -h says ive got
no space left, but according to du /, I'm only using 17 gigs of my 40 gig
drive. Restarting fixes the problem, so I'm thinking it might be some
mis-handled variable in memory, not something on the disc itself? And, yes,
I do know that du is right, not df, because I keep good track of my disc
usage. This is pretty serious, it killed a 40+ hour process that i'll have
to start over again from the beginning!
