A while ago I sent a request off to Sun-Spots about:

I got one reply which boiled down to ``yes, there's a problem, but we
don't know what causes it'' from another user (not from Sun).

What seems to make it go away is ripping out the default ``quotaon -a''
from /etc/rc and replacing it with ``quotaon -v /home'', etc, one for each
partition.

Strange, but true.
