I think the wtmp is not being cleared out on logout.. or something similar to
that.  Marking this as normal, for the time.. though it can be accelerated
because of the vital functions used.  On larger scale machines, this might be a
major issue, if the number of users logging on and off continues to grow.

it's a problem with utmpx.  Upgrading baselayout will fix it.
