Very strange.  I received the error that news cannot write the NEWSRC file,
possible disk quota exceeded.  I just recently cleaned out my login
directory because of this error before.  Then, I did a show quota:
 
MIAVX1> $ cd
MIAVX1> $ show quota
User [SAN,JDCARMACK] has 17 blocks used, 2983
available,  of 3000 authorized and permitted overdraft of 500 blocks on
SYS_USERS
MIAVX1> $ cd temp
MIAVX1> $ show quota  User [SAN,JDCARMACK] has 19910
blocks used, 90 available,
 
Is it trying to write to the ACQUIRE_DIR?  Isn't that a little silly?
