How do you increase the size of lost+found?

While trying to recover from a HD crash, 'fsck -y /dev/rad1s1a' reports
the following error a number of times at the end of it's run:
UNREF FILE I=3537799 OWNER=500 MODE=100644
SIZE=6611 MTIME=Oct 25 21:12 2003
RECONNECT? yes
SORRY. NO SPACE IN lost+found DIRECTORY
This tells me that it's not saving some of the files on the drive. Is
that correct?
Is there anything I can do to make more space in lost+found, either
system-wide or while the fsck is running?
Some possibly pertinent info:
# ls -lad lost+found
drwxrwxrwt 1379 root wheel 182272 Apr 12 16:55 lost+found
# ls lost+found | wc -l
8899
This fs was copied from a drive reporting "hard errors reading fsbn..."
using dd.
Thanks,
Brad Waite
