There was a file in the / called -k. It was 67xxxxxx bytes, or 67MB. It looks like it was just a tar file gone wrong. What I am guessing happened is that a tape backup didn't work quite right. I deleted it, and everything works fine now, as far as I can tell. I will be doing some clean up on this machine and the other one. I appreciate the help.
