I'm not sure I really understand your question; are you trying to
figure out why this happened, or how to get rid of it? It seems the
former has already been answered for you.
If you want to get rid of it, there are two ways. The first is to
establish enough connections so one ends up on ttyp7, then gracefully
close all of them; the second is to compile and run this program,
which takes the terminal name as an argument, and removes the
corresponding utmp entry (`./progname ttyp7`, for example). Compile
it using `gcc -pipe -o whatever whatever.c` (obviously replace
whatever[.c] with whatever you called it).
Hope this helps
