In trying a direct tty line login on an 8.3.19 O2, I noticed that
the utmp entry was not properly cleaned up after I logged out.
("who" still displayed my login).
From doing "who -a", it looks like our login added a new utmp entry,
instead of replacing the entry initialized by init and getty; when
I logged out, init/getty updated the original entry, leaving the added
one.
I will try to look into this further.
