System name:		hydrox-cookie
Type and version:	KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
	login into a w/s 2x via telnet

What's wrong:
	when I logout the first time, the other connections get hosed.
My password file entry gets deleted, and my locker gets dettached.

What should have happened:
	There should be some cleanups which should not occur unless the
user is completely logged out of the workstation.

	Let me describe a reasonable senario where it occurs.  I am
logged in once, and my modem dies.  I call in again, and my previous
connection is still there in never-never land.  I don't want my other
tty processes taking up space, as I can never connect there again (kind
of).  However, if I kill that csh process the logout procedure starts
and my new login starts encountering difficulties.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
