>Description:
after i killed something (not sure what it does exactly :) that was part of a login on ttyp4, `w' now cores when it get's to ttyp4.. i killed this process:

23897 root sshd: yeled@ttyp4

for example, after the killing:

 root@vulcanised:~# w
 7:43PM  up 6 days, 16:15, 2 users, load averages: 0.48, 0.28, 0.31
USER TTY FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
yeled p0 squeaky           7:28PM     0 w
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

when, really:

 root@vulcanised:~# who
yeled    ttyp0    Nov  1 19:28  (squeaky)
yeled    ttyp3    Nov  1 19:41  (squeaky)
>How-To-Repeat:
follow my 'instructions' in the desc.
>Fix:
keep opening up connections till you get to the tty (ttyp4)

and `w' seems to refresh itself or something so it doesn't core anymore.
