6.1 quota issues

FWIW, I saw this on a box I setup running a late November -CURRENT
last year; I could never get the quotas setup and running right
because the check always just looped itself up.  The partition they're
on has about 3 gig used out of ~45, with maybe a dozen users.  I never
spent much time on it, since it's just a personal box, and the quotas
are mostly just to provide a handy measure of who's using what (no
limits set).  I just gave it up and decided to worry about it later.
