Is this a real problem? From the code:

	/* We rely on O_APPEND working in here. That isn't NFS-safe, but it
	   isn't necessarily that bad because the file is recreated once in
	   a while, and sooner if corruption causes calculations to go
	   over quota. This is also how Maildir++ spec specifies it should be
	   done.. */

I guess I could make it recalculate the quota if it detects any errors
in the file.
