Thanks for the information. I'm not trying to waste your time, and I 
wasn't really asking for 'help' per se, as much as simply a clear answer 
about whether that error was even worth worrying about. I'm well aware 
that 1.0.7 is a pretty old release, and you don't have much control over 
what the distro maintainers choose to package.

Generally speaking, I think there are advantages (not introducing 
incompatibility with other software, simple dependency resolution, 
automatic security updates, etc.) to sticking with repo versions, unless 
you have a compelling reason to do otherwise. In this case, the bugfixes 
and improvements in quota accuracy are a good reason to upgrade.

I have moved to 1.2.12 and updated my dovecot-dict-quota.conf file, and 
it seems to be working great.

Thanks again.
