I am assuming that /usr was not over 97% or so used? (When you do a
"df /usr")  If this is the case it means that writing stoipped because
the fopen to append to /usr/adm/wtmp failed due to insufficient space.
If this is not the case, more information might be in order.  Drop me
a note with more info and if/when it gets solved you can summarize to
the net.
