mysteriously full root partition

I have a root partition on a Sun3 that claims to be 110% full -
actually 7739 out of 7751 kbytes used. Using 'ls -l' and 'du' I
can account for only 6300 kbytes. I have another Sun3 with an
almost identical root partition, which does show only 6300 kbytes
used. I have halted the system and rebooted it to do an 'fsck',
but it still claims to be 110% full.

Has anyone come across something like this before? Any pointers
would be appreciated.
