`who` output keeps showing logins that have really logged out.



For a few weeks now I've been finding logins listed in the `who` output
that are not really logged in.  I've found out how to clear them
(`cat /dev/null>/var/run/utmp`) but I'd like to cure the problem.  The
false entries all seem to refer to xterm sessions (running bash but
without the -l option), but only a few xterm sessions fail to get
registered as logged out.

Any suggestions?
