Thanks for the offer of help, Volker, but in trying to fix a problem on my
test server, I determined that it was the following that was the root of
the problem:

   dfree command = /usr/local/bin/afs_df

The afs_df command turns out to be a local script that was using the AFS
command "fs diskfree" to determine free space, but if you have Terabyte
sized quotas, the free column runs into the used column as one long
number, so the parsing broke, returning the percentage used as bytes free.

We have made a temporary fix to this by using "fs lisquota" instead, with
some hacking.
