 You're correct; I can't reproduce it now -- when I could reproduce
 it, the access_log was 970mb and the disk was full.  I filled the
 disk again with some other garbage files, but the server did not hang
 even though the new access log couldn't be written to.  Perhaps it's
 a problem with some combination of very large files, Solaris & apache.
 
 If I have a chance to reproduce I'll let you know.  Thanks for the
 pointer.  Case closed.
