There is also an annoying bug in quot for Sun4's.  If quot
is in verbose mode (-v) and it comes accross an unknown UID 
it core dumps.  If it is not in verbose mode, and it comes
accross an unknown UID, it doesn't core dump but it reports
things as if it were in verbose mode.  I called this
in and I was told that it is a bug in the way it is dealing
with a data structure.  When it hits an unknown UID it changes
a flag which then stomps on part of the data structure that
amoung other things, has the flags for verbose mode.  Hopefully
this will be fixed in 4.0.3.
