And (of course) another bug has surfaced: "pututline()" seems to return a
pointer on some systems, "void" on others.  A recent change had begun to
use the pointer and...  Grrrr.... 

So as of about 18:30 BST (17:30 GMT/UTC) Wed 10 May, the patch is updated
to its version ".5":
   http://www.dur.ac.uk/~samba/utmp-207.patch      (c. 121 kbytes)
   http://www.dur.ac.uk/~samba/utmp-207.patch.gz   (c.  17 kbytes)

Reminder: I hope that this patch can be rolled into CVS at the end of the
week.  From that time any future mods will have to be done that way, not
through me.
