This behavior started yesterday. Safari would randomly crash( beach ball), force quit, takes forever to force quit, and I notice my HD free space going down... 46 GB down to 45.5, 44 GB, 43 GB, etc. I restart my computer and HD space is back at 45 GB( 1 GB still missing). I end up reinstalling OS X onto my MBP. And after it's finished it is up to 49 GB free......

Just now the same thing happened. Safari locks up, and HD space is disappearing.

What is going on? Is my HD failing? It's an Early 2008 17" MBP.
