I've just run into a 16-character username limit in our quota support, 
or at least in the edquota command itself (5-CURRENT):

edquota -u -e /afilesystem:614400:716800:4000:5000 areallylongusername
edquota: areallylongusern: no such user

Does anybody know what would it take to raise this limit to at least 
32 characters?
