You have reached the Savannah mailing list.  Savannah is the software
forge for people committed to free software.  The web site, the
version control hosting, the infrastructure, that type of thing.

But you are reporting something about something I can't figure out
what it is about.  Something related to wtmp obviously.  But wtmp is a
shared resource file api and so any program that accesses it might
corrupt it.  Something related to "ac".  Whatever "ac" is.  Searching
the web for "ac" is too generically small to be identifying of a project.

I can't see how this is related to Savannah.  Normally I try to figure
out what the user is really trying to do and then try to redirect them
to the right place to talk about it.  But I am unable to do that with
your message.

What is "ac"?  If you give us a hint about what "ac" might be then I
could probably give back a hint as to where to ask questions about
it.  I searched Savannah's list of hosted projects and I see nothing
called "ac" there.

Sorry.  Coming up blank.  You will have to help.
