ugly silly who(1) bug in AT&T V/386 3.2.2

[Colonel Panic]

Grrrrrrrrrr....

I've been trying to figure this out for a YEAR, and I just stumbled
on to the isolated case...

Sometimes, not always, I was getting null returns out of "who am i".
And I thought my machine was just having an identity crisis.

Now, after stringing thru the ?tmp files, I've isolated it: 
who am i returns nothing for all user names which are exactly 8 
characters!   

Does anybody know if this is a known bug?  Does it affect ISC, SCO,
ESIX, etc?
