What's wrong:
Here is the text from the console window:
13:06 Athena Server (DS3100) Version 7.3P Thu Jan 16 01:52:21 EST 1992
13:07 Badly formatted entry in /usr/tmp/attachtab

13:07 Session initialization completed.
There is no longer a badly formatted entry in attachtab.
What should have happened:
Quota should not have aborted because of a bad entry in attachtab; I'm
really confused as to what really went on here. Also, since my home
directory was correctly attached, my dotfiles should have been used (I
have my own .xsession, and it clearly wasn't used this time).
