Crash Dump Question...

One of our cluster systems crashed last evening. After bringing it back up
I noticed that the var file system had grown larger than normal. I couldn't
find any file causing this much space to be taken up. A run of syscheck
showed the following information:

Free disk space is less than 68028 KB ( 66 MB ) in the /var/adm/crash file
system.

With a more detailed description...

<=[ ToC ]=> Crash Files
Operational: Free disk space is less than 69232 KB ( 67 MB ) in the
/var/adm/crash file system.

Crash files were not found. 
Has anyone seen this before and what did you do to remedy the situation?
Any guidance would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
