Hello.

I have just updated kernel / userland.  Now I get the following error
when opening an xterm:

utmp_update: Cannot update utmp entry: Resource temporarily unavailable
utmp_update: Cannot update utmp entry: Undefined error: 0
[snip - repeated ~10x]

I am also attempting to su to root in X results in a `permission
denied', yet logging on as root on the console works fine.

Furthermore, the process table is full.  There are numerous errant
processes clogging it:

160 ttyp1 I+   0:00.00 utmp_update ver\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\000\\=
000
[snip - repeated a LOT]

The configuration is known to be good as of June 11th.
