Thanks for the suggestions about using /dev/null.  I have a process
running on tty16 that I would prefer not to stop, but the world may
not come to an end if I shut it down for a minute or two to clean up
my /var/run/utmp file.  The bogus tty12 entry does not seem to be
causing any problems though, so I might spend a little time tracking
down the library associated with the utmp.h header file before I
empty /var/run/utmp.  Thanks for the suggestions, and have a _great_
day!
