Subject: New Mail Not Displaying

I have a user who is getting the error message "New mail move failed
disk quota exceeded" when accessing Pine.  No new e-mail messages are
being displayed in pine but they are being appended to the user's
/var/mail file.  

The user's disk quotas are
Filesystem    usage   quota   limit  timeleft  files   quota   limit
timeleft
/                41    5000    6000              0       0     
0            
/var/mail      2668    5000    6000              1       0     
0            
/usr/people    4380    5000    6000             59       0     
0            

We are using version 4.05 of Pine.

I've searched the archives but haven't found anything on this problem. 
Any clues as to the cause of this problem would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks.

Pine is trying to move the mail into the user's personal space.  If you notice
the quota info, the user is already near the limit, and moving the mail would
put him over that limit.
