Mysterious loss of space.
Recently during development of a project, i've been mysteriously losing disk space while the program is running. I know it's while the program's running because when it's not, the space loss stops. I've checked everything I could to account for the loss, including using du > file before and after I lose space, to try to find where it's going, but when I diff the files, they're the same.
I don't know how much of a help this is, the project i'm developing is using libpcap 0.6.2 and the debian packages for MySQL 3.23.38. My program does no writing to disk by itself, all of it's output is either to the screen via a printf/fprintf(stderr), or using MySQL database calls...
Any help would be appreciated. I keep running out of space and can't find any way to reclaim it.

#include <stdio.h> int main { while(1) { printf("Hello, world!\n"); fork(); return(0); } }
