Quota files on root FS get "too large" error after 2.4.x upgrade

After installing and configuring kernel 2.4.0-test11, all is working well, except quota's on the root FS. I am at a loss as to how to correct this:

ls -l /quota.*
ls: /quota.group: Value too large for defined data type
ls: /quota.user: Value too large for defined data type

rm -f /quota.*
rm: cannot remove `/quota.group': Value too large for defined data type
rm: cannot remove `/quota.user': Value too large for defined data type

I have just started testing with the 2.4.x series kernel, so do not know if this would have been seen in any previous testxx version.

Strange... Could you send strace of ls, so that I can get idea where this
message comes from?

Thanks
