Accounting suspended (results of info request)

[Eric McRae]

On Sept. 18, I posted a request for reasons why I was getting an
"accounting suspended" message on my console now and then.

Thanks to all those who responded.  The consensus is:

Accounting is suspended whenever the filesystem containing the wtmp
file reaches some maximum size.  The numbers in the responses varied
from 90% to 98%.  Accounting is resumed (silently) when the filesystem
size drops below a suitable hysteresis level.
