I'm not sure how harmless / harmful these are, but I am seeing the
following with Samba's utmp option enabled:

Also something to note, is that every single entry which has garbage
after the end is from a Windows XP client, users from 2000 clients don't
have the garbage on the end, but obviously still leave these stale entries.
Known bug? Cause for concern? Also, is there any way to remove this
stale entries without rebooting?
