i've managed to stop a new trace file being created by renaming a text
file to the numbering of the next trace file to be created and making
it read only.
I'm not exactly sure how this process is running
but hopefully the problem is fixed and i can ensure the problem is
fixed next time i get a chance to restart the SQL Server service
