utmpx problems......i sort of knew this was coming with the new glibc ,
hylafax seems to have trouble with utmpx on many platforms.

As a quick fix in config.site try adding a line like:
UTMP=utmp

to disable the interface.

PS Did the previous configure changes, and the hack to Dispatcher.c++ work?
