	I have had the same experience, also under Ultrix1.2, but
on a uVaxII - I had allowed my wtmp to get to at least .3meg as I
was working on some accounting routines and I wanted to be able
to have a history to work with. When I went to use it I got similar
output with some network hostnames interspersed. Starting a new file
made it come out properly.
	No fix as yet...
