Well, the error message that grendelkeeper reported came from the function
appendfile_transport_setup() around line 330 in appendfile.c, which has a
load checks comparing quota values to 2^31 regardless of the size of
off_t. This probably needs fixing but I'm unfamiliar with the quota code
(we don't use it) and my todo list is overflowing.
