A user reported that quota said:

	quota: error reallocing memory: No such file or directory

There is a bug in /source/athena/ucb/quota/quota.c: perror() is used
to report malloc errors.  MALLOC DOES NOT SET ERRNO.  perror prints a
random error message, or dumps core, after a failed call to malloc.
