Not having paid any attention, I discovered that this file grew to be 1048518656 bytes (this on a debian-based Linux system), and filled up the (small) filesystem for /var. Is there a 'normal' size that I should expect for this file ? What could be the reason for the large size? And how could it be best reduced? (There was a suggestion of stopping samba, removing the file, and restarting samba - is this the right way?)
