No, it hasn't.  Files in procfs are virtual mappings, not physical files.
Look somewhere else for the file filling up your root partition.

As an aside, is there a tool somewhere (outside of TNF probes) to monitor
file I/O on a per-process basis and rank processes in order of the volume?
I've got something hacked together with truss and /proc but it's brutally
inefficient.
