Hello all-

I noticed this strange behavior the other day:

spooner@mtw:~$ w
4:25pm up 3 days, 16:27, 11 users, load average: 0.12, 0.05, 0.07
User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
spooner tty1 Wed 2pm 3 w
spooner ttyp2 Thu10pm 17:46 -
spooner ttyp1 Thu11pm -
spooner ttyp3 12:07am -
spooner ttyp3 Wed11pm -
spooner ttyp0 Thu11pm -
spooner ttyp4 2:29am -
spooner ttyp4 Thu 3am -
spooner ttyp3 Thu10pm -
spooner ttyp3 Thu 4am -
spooner ttyp5 1:36pm -

It seems that I'm logged in 4 times on ttyp3, and twice in ttyp4. And that's
not all. I figure tty1 is where I issued 'startx' and ttyp0 is the fvwm
session. (root window?). This was after I ended the xwin session. Any thoughts?

This happened while running 1.3.97, whith the procps-0.99a.
I'm also running gcc-2.7.2 and libc-5.3.18.
