We are running Ultrix 1.2 on a VAX-780 and using lat terminal server software
supplied by DEC.  /etc/utmp seems to get dammaged on occassion and produces
the following results when the who command is entered.


wstef    tty01   Mar  9 00:25
wgcrs01  ttyS0   Mar  9 00:05
stevl          Mar  8 15:34
coors    ttyp0   Mar  8 23:49	(PRISM)

The entry displayed for stevl is really for ttyS9, which is a lat pseudo
terminal.  I think the file might get corrupted when the user logs out.  Has
anyone else had this problem? are there any fixes?
