--------
A user in OLC (cstewart) reported problems with the new Athena release
(7.7) on their private DECstation (Maxine).
Specifically, they are accumulating tons of leftover zwgc processes,
from users of this private workstation, who telnet in and then logout
normally (i.e., "zwgc" is automatically started up with fallback true,
and they logout by typing "logout").
For example, the user reports:

Anyone have any ideas? (zwgc should be dying automatically... relying
on it to die via a script isn't going to work for private machines which
users can telnet into).
