glibc2 which is used with RedHat 5.1 uses a different (larger) utmp
format than libc5. If you've got program that expect the libc5 utmp
format, you'll notice this corruption. Just upgrade those binaries.
When upgrading from a libc5 distribution to a glibc2 one, you should
also `rm wtmp' since the format has changed.
