Usually this is casused by log files considered larger than the available
space on the /var directory.

That you don't have adequate space for the task at hand. In this case
compressing the log (this means the source needs to be arround wile a
new bzip file is created) and create a new fresh file.

I would like to see if this in fact the case.

Can somebody please remind me what commands I can use to troubleshoot this
current condition?

Use 'du -s * | sort -n' to find the largest files
