The bug doesn't have to do with "who" specifically, but with the update
to the /etc/utmp and /usr/adm/wtmp files.  The bug was in the telnetd
and rlogind programs (if you don't have a network and don't use telnet
or rlogin, you shouldn't have this problem).  The telnetd problem was
officially fixed in 2004 (the update after 3003) which is available 
from IBM.   The rlogind problem will be fixed in 3005 which is to be
autoshipped from IBM (much like the 3003 release) sometime late in April.
