I was having problems with page faults and reboots when running edquota,
quotacheck and repquota on my system (DX2-66, 32MB, Adaptec 1542B).  The
problem seemed to manifest itself when I enabled quotas on more than one
filesystem, although it may only happen when one is enabled.

To make a long story short, replacing the Adaptec 1542B with Buslogic
KT-445S local bus host adapter seems to have fixed the problem.  I'm no
kernel hacker, but this leads me to believe that there may be a problem
in the FreeBSD 2.0 bounce buffer code.
