utmp_update is broken (it doesn't do what POSIX says it should) and so it's
really an illumos bug. I talked with urxvt folks quite a bit about it, and
IIRC, they were going to include a workaround. Looking at the Changelog it
looks like that didn't happen.
The copyright is wrong unless you took this from Oracle.
And three small nits...
1) Why the OSOL CDDL header instead of the Illumos CDDL header?
2) Why keep all those commented out lines in there?
3) What's the reasoning behind setting $PATH?
Jeff.
P.S. FWIW, the correct way to fix utmp_update is to rip it out and write it
from scratch.
