Andy,
Two or three years ago we had the same thing happen to us. It
turned out that I had installed the drivers for a game control devise
called
IShock/IStick . The driver was running continually and using up
memory. I called IShock and they had me run Activity Monitor in
Utilities and stop the program then remove the drivers from my hard
drive. This worked for me.

I have a MBP with almost 25GB free HD space (or at least there was
that much 2 days ago). Today I get a message saying something like
my startup disk is almost full. As I watch, the space available is
shrinking right before my eyes. I did a re-bong, repaired
permissions, ran cron-scripts, etc. Nothing seemed to work, I freed
up some space by deleting some unused apps, but my MBP has a case
of “Honey, I shrank the HD!”
I downloaded Disk INventory X to see what was taking up so much
space. The only culprits that seem to stand out are a System.log
file that is over 11.6 GB and a .asl file that is 4.1GB
I really don't know what I am doing in Console, so I have hesitated
to delete these files...
Any suggestions on how to reverse this trend before my laptop
collapses in on itself and sucks our entire universe into something
the size of a grain of salt?
thanks for any help
Andy
