These are some of the messages we get pasted across one of our servers
screen. Quotas seem to be totally horked... the only solution I have
found is to blow away the quota files. I have read that if `repquota
-uga` segfaults, this is an indication of corruption. It does segfault.

There is a fix, however, what I am wondering is why this happens. We
are running EXT3 filesystem on a server with 3000+ users on. It is not
convient to blast quotas and recreate them every week.

Problem also seen on another system.

kernel-2.4.7-10smp
quota-3.06-9.7

Messages says same thing. Here is an example from the repquota:
#179      +- 750780417     179     179   none     179   179   179   none
#179      +- 754974721     180     180   none       0   179   179
Segmentation fault

Note those two huge blocksizes there.

Bumping to high priority as it is repro'd on multiple systems.

This does not appear on later releases
