Looking at the thread here on gmane.org (list2news and list2web gateway), 
it appears my reply was the only reply in any case, and it was general as 
I don't run quotas myself.

Basically I suggested upgrading, as the quota code as some rather huge 
bugs in it (quotas could go seriously negative!) with the old versions 
you were running.  But you've upgraded at least the kernel now (userspace 
you didn't say).

Here's a link to the thread on the gmane web interface for completeness, 
but the above about covers my reply, as I said the only one until your 
thread bump and my reply here, so there's not much new there unless 
someone posts further followups to this thread...
