OK, I think I've fixed this one. Will be in the next snapshot.

- Pick the best match utmp entry to replace when ut_id's don't match; if
that was the case, leave ut_id at what it was in utmp such that the entry
may be manipulated with pututline(3).
We could enforce some ut_id conventions for Owl, but we also want to
co-exist with software which isn't a part of Owl (such as xterm's).
