How can I find out what files are eating up my root partition? df shows

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda8 256667 210021 33394 87% /
/dev/hda1 54416 4466 47141 9% /boot
/dev/hda6 13820376 4943176 8175164 38% /home
/dev/hda5 13820376 1818484 11299856 14% /usr
/dev/hda9 256667 42777 200638 18% /var

For some reason, the root partition keeps filling up with something -- now
87% full, and continuously growing until the computer crashes. Is there a
way to sort the results of du by size?
