WARNING 3.2.1 may remove your accounting data

After installing 3.2.1 you will find the following
entry in /usr/spool/cron/crontabs/root
2 1 * * 0 umask 033;
cd /etc;if test -f wtmp; then mv -f wtmp OLDwtmp;
touch wtmp; fi
This may have been present in 3.2 but I don't re-
call it. Maybe some-one at SGI could comment as to
when exactly the line is adding as a comment and
when it is not. But if you have a home-brewed system
for accounting which depends on /etc/wtmp you may
experience technical difficulties :-)
