Hmm. I find it hard to believe that quotas can be reliably enforced without
some kernel modifications.
Rest assured: quotas IS on our list of things to definitely do in the
reasonably near future (though not, I'm afraid, in the release poised to
appear momentarily). I'm taking a planning look at it now; the assumption
is that it will be based on the BSD/Melbourne system.
