I decided that /etc/ptmp and /etc/gtmp were probably being left around
because login is getting a SIGHUP or SIGINT or some such. So I added
code to libAL to block tty-generated signals (and SIGALRM, although
that isn't necessary) until the update is done. This change is also
in the sipb-athena source tree.
If this is the problem, it could also be happening on normal dialups.
However, cleanup on the normal dialups will delete /etc/ptmp or
/etc/gtmp if it can't lock them.
