maybe the /var/run/utmp file gets borked?
the 'last' command has similar fuxnorication now and then as the
/var/log/wtmp gets corrupt. just a guess.

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #7 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com>
:
Wondering what COMMANDS you have at your disposal? Try pressing
the TAB key at the command line. For example, "apt<TAB>" will
show you all the commands that start with "apt". (This is called
"completion" if you want to look it up in your shell's manpage.)
(Different implementions have the <TAB> completion set up
differently -- you may need to press <TAB> twice.)
