Hello,

Huh I see. Actually only old quota format is affected by this bug (that may be a reason why it went unnoticed for a while).

When you have test machine you usually don't run a quota on it and when you have machine with lots of users on it you won't use unstable kernels. So I guess this is not a big wonder (I suppose the bugreports for 2.6 quota code will start to appear soon ;).
