I've notice that log out records are not written to /etc/wtmp when our
system (4.1bsd) is shutdown.  This happens with 'kill -TERM 1' or the
Berkeley shutdown command.  I wouldn't have even noticed except that
our system runs VMS in the afternoons and anyone who forgot to log out
gets billed for UNIX time while VMS is running.

I suspect that a bug in init is causing my problem.  Before I go
tearing into init myself, I'd like to hear from anyone else who has
observed or (I hope) fixed this problem.
