Subject: Possible bug in FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 getty/login?

Here's an interesting problem. I'm configuring several modems to go
on a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 box for remote dial-in. They all work like a champ.
The only problem is that after I log out, and the connection terminates,
'who' still shows me as being logged in on that port! Naturally, this
really screws up my user accounting, which is VERY bad. The getty
does respond, and the 'phantom' user goes away after a new login.
Could this possibly be a configuration problem, or have I found a bona
fide bug?
