In addition to the possible 'who' bug (see below), looks like 'finger' might have a little gremlin in it as well (assuming it's not the kernel).
The following 2 lines (among others) are printed with 'finger": peter Peter Butler *pts/19 113d Apr 22 17:20 peter Peter Butler *pts/21 113d Apr 22 17:24 Note the 113 days of idle time. These 2 entries correspond to the 'who' bug explained in the original email (see below). The reason this is weird is because the system has not been UP for 113 days!

I have a couple of entries listed when I do a 'who' that I can't seem to get rid of (other than rebooting). I've even gone so far as to take my system down to INIT runlevel 1 (single-user mode) and kill all extraneous processes (so that only the kernel threads and the single-user mode bash shell are running) and yet I still always see: peter pts/19 Apr 22 17:20 peter pts/21 Apr 22 17:24 My computer is still in this 'state' so if there is anything you want me to look at (yo get you some more debug info) let me know.
