/home has 135G available

No selinux

I just did an fsck earlier today as part of installing another drive in 
the system (no, that drive has no pan files on it, it is, in fact, 
unused at this point and this problem has existed for a few days (since 
I started getting back into usenet again last week) so it was happening 
BEFORE I stuck the new drive in the box.

No quotas

File doesn't look corrupted and is small compared to that of other 
groups that appear to be saving normally.

File looks OK in a text editor

address@hidden:~$ ulimit
unlimited
address@hidden:~$

address@hidden:~$ ls -l /home/XXXX/.pan2/groups
total 92416
