Alex,
Programmer boy reports back, "there aren't any open transactions so the gossamer guys are in the clear (as they probably suspected)".
Full backup didn't seem do to the trick so he did a transaction log backup which reduced it to a much nicer 8mb. The database itself only weighs in at 7.5mb at this point.
Would think the server's own tech people could have done that, but we all know what tech support is good for (except for Gossamer's of course
).
