Sometimes the kernel produces garbage after long program names
in /var/account/acct.
# create a 10 chars long (or longer) program name
$ cp /bin/ls /tmp/ls34567890
# start this program 100 x
$ set 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
$ for i do for j do /tmp/ls34567890 ;done;done >/dev/null
# check for garbage
$ lastcomm |grep '^ls34567890[^ ]'|wc
