- |THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY kinet lat v4.3 R11 beta as I previously thought.

- Just for the record:
-
- The wtmp corruption occured because our software was compiled on Irix 3.3
- which has a different utmp element structure than exists on Irix 4.x. We
- have since recompiled our software on Irix 4.0.1 and the wtmp corruption
- no longer exists. We plan to be shiping our software for Irix 4.x within
- the coming week.
