 I've experienced this problem in FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE as well, and I 
 believe it's tied to the quota.user file.  Placing the quota.user file 
 outside the md filesystem by mounting the md device using the 
 userquota=/anywhere/outside/the/loopback/filesystem does *not* result 
 in a deadlock and, in fact, seems to work perfectly.
