Sorry, it took me a couple of days to find time to try this out.
Here's what I did:
1. Used truncate to increase the size of the image file.
2. Booted the VM.
3. Used fdisk to delete the existing partition and create a new
partition that uses all available space.
4. Reboot.  (The tools that tell the kernel to reread the partition
table reported that they failed, and asked me to reboot instead.)
5. Ran resize2fs to expand the filesystem.

And now I have plenty of space.  Hurray!  Thanks everyone.  Off I go
to debug....
