This was fixed in 3.2.  The problem was that /usr/ucb/quota was checking
the users quota on *ALL* filesystems even if they were mounted with
the noquota option.  This was especially bad if a NFS server (or two)
was down and it had to wait until a timeout.

If you are running 3.2 or later and don't care about quotas, be sure to
mount everything with the noquota option.
