Is it a 32-bit system?  If so, you may be hitting a known problem caused 
by a parameter size disagreement wrt quota_t (which is a long long, ie 
64 bits) vs long (which is only 32 bits on Linux/x86).  The compiler 
doesn't catch this since verify_user() is called via a function pointer.

The attached patch should fix it, or you can of course upgrade to a more 
recent version.

Probably not very useful unless you've switched the lmtpd binary for an 
unstripped (and preferably non-optimised) one.  The symptom of the above 
bug is parameters getting trashed as the come off the stack when 
process_recipient() calls verify_user().
