[SunHELP] quotacheck problem

I've got a Sun 450 Enterprise runnning Solaris 8 setup as our mail server here.

I've got 10MB quotas on mailboxes in /var/mail.

When I add a user, I am under the impression that I need to run the 
quotacheck command.

I've never had a problem running quotacheck -av
Every once in a while I seem to hang the machine running quotacheck -a
When the system is hung, I can't telnet/SSH into the box.  I can't check 
email via a POP3 client.  I can't even log in at the console.  Not even 
Stop+A works.  I end up cutting power and turning the machine back up.

Any known problems with the quotacheck command?
