Thank you very much "utmp/wtmp-related patches".  I've tried several of
them, and found curious phenomena on "last"-command.  After I've issued
"login" command while I'm logged-in, I'm still login (may be forever).

This is the output of PH-minix-1.5-PC-version,
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ /usr/bin/last
nemossan  tty0      Thu Nov  8 19:12   still logged in
nemossan  tty0      Thu Nov  8 19:10 - 19:12  (00:01)	<-- here login'ed.
nemossan  tty0      Thu Nov  8 15:06 - 19:10  (04:04)
nemossan  tty0      Thu Nov  8 14:38 - 15:05  (00:26)

wtmp begins Wed Oct 31 23:20 
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And this is by new "last" command
------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ /usr/nemossan/bin/last
nemossan tty0         Thu Nov  8 19:12   still logged in
nemossan tty0         Thu Nov  8 19:10 - 19:12 (00:01)
nemossan tty0         Thu Nov  8 15:06   still logged in	???
nemossan tty0         Thu Nov  8 14:38 - 15:05 (00:27)
reboot   ~            Thu Nov  8 14:38

wtmp begin Wed Oct 31 23:20
------------------------------------------------------------------------

After 4 hours of logging, I've issued "login" command, with neither ^D
nor exit-command.


Here are directories of both last's.
