Fossil seems to be leaking cache blocks.
Fossil/flchk will identify them for manual
reclamation. Of course, you should snap -a
before doing anything, and write down the score.
I didn't believe flchk's output until my fossil
just filled up with no snapshots. I freed a few
supposedly-leaked blocks so I could do a snapshot.
The snapshot worked fine, so I figured might as
well free all the supposedly-leaked blocks, which
I did, including freeing (again) the ones I'd already
freed. End of fossil. Don't do this.
Recovery sure is painless though.
