    Frag.  This just sucks.  utmpx is a completely unusable API.  Amoung
    other things, the utx API functions aren't thread safe.

    I'm sorry, it's just unusable.  We'll have to come up with something
    else.  I am not going to commit anything until we can figure out a
    reasonable solution even if it means building a new API.

:    Urk!  Where's ut_host[] in utmpx?  I don't see it in the specification...
:    Sigh.  So much for the single unix specification!

:    Maybe I should just adopt the fields in the utmpx.h from Linux.  It
:    seems to have everything we need.
