Seconded, this also solved my long-standing problems with a Quota mounts
on some 32-bit i686 and low-mem x64 machines.

I tested the patch with Kernel 2.6.38.1-i686 on a ~500GB fs which
refused to mount with quotas for some time now.

Is there any chance that this patch will be integrated/backparted to
older kernels like 2.6.32.x, 2.6.35.x?

thanks,
Michael
