The problem seems to be in the code.  I had the same problem under
xenix/386.  Here is how to fix:

----------- line 108 of utmpstat.c -------------------------
	    if(!strcmp(namecopy,"LOGIN"))
			status = US_LOGIN;
	    else if(!strcmp(namecopy,"DIALOUT"))
			status = US_DIALOUT;
	    else if((!strcmp(namecopy,"uugetty") || !strcmp(namecopy,"getty")))
----------- line 114 of utmpstat.c -------------------------

The "status =" lines seem to have been reversed for some reason.  This is
what it should have looked like.

Sorry I didn't make diffs, but i was too lazy :-)
