It might be a corrupt freelist. If that is the case then running
fsck will detect that fact and reclaim the space by rebuilding the
freelist.

My guess is it's "missing" - that can happen if the system's shutdown
(or the emulator terminated) prematurely. In that case the freelist
metadata might not have been updated.
I see Greg mentioned running fsck. That sounds like an excellent
suggestion.
