I've been having some weird problems since upgrading the Sun 3/50
to SunOS 3.4 from 3.3 .

For instance, I login, fire up suntools, and open up a whole slew
of shelltools and commandtools.  Then, when I'm finished, I select
'Exit Suntools'.  This drops me back out of suntools, but a 'w'
or 'who' command indicates that several pseudo-ttys are still
being used.  A quick look in /etc/utmp verifies this.  I can
fix this by going to single-user and then back to multi-user, but
this should not be necessary.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, been able to fix it?
I know it's not a major problem.  The improvements in 3.4 outweigh
this disadvantage, but this bug makes administration difficult.

Thanks in advance for all help.
