System name:		the-other-woman
Type and version:	SPARC/Classic 7.7M
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	finger at my workstation


What went wrong?
	Appearantly, athena's xterm doesn't do a complete job of
cleaning up utmp.  When I log in, if I create an xterm, and then exit
from it, the followin will happen.  finger @the=other-woman, will have
the correct output.  Finger jweiss@the-other-woman, will have the
correct output, plus an entry for the xterm I created and destroyed.


What should have happened?
	The extra entry should never show up


Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
	I've seen this both with and without the January patch release.
