[scponly] I _still_ don't understand --enable-quota-compat

If you strace it, you'll probably find that it needs a bunch of device nodes 
and other things that aren't present.

I would guess that it only works outside of a chroot.  I have never tried to 
use it within a chroot.  A strace would show you exactly what the (next) 
problem is.  There might be more than one problem.  Eg. you might have to 
copy or create some device nodes and then <other action here>.

That's probably not what you wanted to hear... but I can't see how it might 
work differently.

Thanks for looking into it.
