My wtmp logs are corrupting.
When I create a fresh wtmp log file it it fine for a while 
then it becomes garbage, neither last or ac can read it.

I am running 2.2-RELEASE however 2.2-GAMMA did it as well.

I reformatted the drive before I installed 2.2-RELEASE.

Any suggestions for tracking it down, it's driving me nuts.
