all consuming /proc files

Hi,

I run DEC unix V4.0B on a DEC alpha server 300 4/266. As indicated below,
my root file system is overloaded:

Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/re0a 127134 126798 0 111% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
/dev/re0g 3605822 742398 2502840 23% /usr
/dev/re1g 24003988 2913572 18690016 14% /raid

The reason my root file system is overloaded is because of the presence of
the files below which recently invaded my /proc directory:

drwxr-xr-x 19 root system 1024 Dec 29 13:09 ../

-rw------- 1 root daemon 17383424 Jan 7 09:10 10814

How do I remove the files above? There must be an indirect way because the
direct "rm" and "chmod" commands won't work on these files though I've
tried as root.

thanks,

Tully
