>Description:

The window(1) command allocates pseudo terminals for a user session without
properly accounting for them. 

>How-To-Repeat:

run window

>Fix:

window should create entries in utmp and wtmp, as those are the standard
locations for pty usage accounting.  When the user releases a pty, the
entry from utmp should be cleared and the entry in wtmp updated.
