openssh unix dev - Sep 2001 - Today's CVS trouble (HP-UX 10.20)

Hi!

I have just updated some hosts to todays CVS version of OpenSSH portable,
now flagged as 2.9.9p1.

I now find the following error messages in my logfiles:
Sep 25 12:16:38 ws01 sshd[17610]: wtmp_get_entry: read of /var/adm/wtmp failed:
Bad file number
Sep 25 12:17:11 ws01 sshd[17659]: wtmp_get_entry: read of /var/adm/wtmp failed:
No such device or address

These do not occur with 2.9p2. On the host in question I have been running
last weeks (Thursday?) CVS without trouble. After distributing the latest
CVS version to other hosts (previously running 2.9p2) I also see the same
error messages popping up.
In the Changelog I don't see any hint on what to look for. Any hints?

Best regards,
	Lutz

I can't see what could be causing this - nothing has changed in this area
recently.
