hi,

when analysing what takes all the diskspace in /var i stumbled over:
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 134217728 Nov 10 13:45 swap
# strings swap | less
SWAPSPACE2
#

the file is empty (a sparse copy reduced it to 1001 bytes) and never
used. i installed fl:2 on this machine in december, so it came with the
install.

greetings, martin.
