 > [Changing MAXLOGNAME and UT_NAMESIZE to 32]
 
 My guess is: after installing the new programs, you need to truncate
 utmp, wtmp and lastlog. All these files consist of fixed-length records
 defined by utmp.h, so changing that will break them. wtmp is most
 affected.
 
 If/when utmp is replaced by utmpx, this should be fixed too.
