I just helped a user who was receiving someone elses zephyr
subscriptions.  She was logged in one of Suns in W20-575, and
mentioned that this has happened to her before and to several of her
friends.  Apparently, the zwgc process from the last user did not die,
and that user's messages were appearing in her console.  No other
person was logged in at the time, no other random processes were
running, and the machine did not appear to be hacked.  I su'd and
killed the process.  I regard this as a serious bug.
