Subject: No grace period for quotas

I had quota running successfully on a 2.2R box.  Most of my users have a
1M soft limit and 10M hard limit on /var.  Suddenly, however, anyone
exceeding 1M is shut down and shows no grace period, e.g.

Disk quotas for user vision (uid 1421):
 Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit  grace
       /var    1664*   1024   10240    none       1       0       0

edquota -t shows

Time units may be: days, hours, minutes, or seconds
Grace period before enforcing soft limits for users:
/usr: block grace period: 0 days, file grace period: 0 days
/var: block grace period: 0 days, file grace period: 0 days

Changing the block grace period to 7 days had no effect.

Any ideas on what I may have done or need to do?
