Thanks Rusty, but....

Strange we are running the latest BlueQuartz/Centos (as far as I can tell
anyway - we use yum update to update)

We don't have db_checkpoint installed which package is it part of, I've just
looked at a genuine Raq550 which does have db_checkpoint installed and also
interestingly the db directory is fairly empty on one log.number file there
- is this a bug in Bluequartz or Centos? looks like BQ as I'm running
pwdb-0.61.1-9BQ17 - is there a newer version - is db_checkpoint not
installed?

Note to anyone else - go check your /var partition it could be filling up if
so find a way to clear it before mail stops!
