[ale] Locking up when shutdown

[Jeff Hubbs]

Michael -
When it hangs, are you seeing the "[  OK  ]" after the quotas line?  If you
are, then maybe it has gone to the next thing and hanging up.  The closest
thing I have experienced to this is a situation where you've got NFS exports
mounted, they go away for some reason (e.g., exports disappear, NIC is
already down), and Linux tries to unmount them at shutdown.  

If it turns out that it IS hanging at the quotas line (i.e., no [  OK  ]
appears), then maybe a similar problem exists, i.e., something that the
quotas mechanism cared about - a directory, a user, a device, I dunno -
doesn't exist anymore.
