I've obtained a copy of 2.2-RELEASE last night (great  job, all!),
and have been working with it since.  Just a moment ago, I noticed
that utmp (or something else?) is damaged.

# w

This may have started happening when I began running xterms on this
machine, looks like the utmp is blown away.    This machine is basically
a plain-vanilla FreeBSD 2.2-RELEASE with a rebuilt kernel and a few added
packages.

(Also, I had some weird problems running xterm's, I was getting an error
re: Locale and an Atom error, xterm would not run.  I reinstalled the
XFree86 dist using /stand/sysinstall and it seemed to fix the problem)

Thanks,
Rich
