What quota backend are you using? fs or maildir?

Dovecot doesn't have any calls to send SIGALRM signals.. If you're  
using fs quota with NFS rpc calls, that could cause it I guess,  
although I don't really understand why the signal would be sent to  
master process instead of just the child process.
