phantom login sessions - NO process!

Trying to find out what to do. A finger shows login sessions that do
not exist. There is no shell process or anything related to those TTY
IDs. Anyone know the cause? Anyone know how to get rid of them besides
rebooting our server?

Running
Linux mysrvr.com 2.4.21-20.EL #1 Thu Sep 16 14:30:02 EDT 2004 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Here's a sample of the finger result and a process list. Any
information about our user and process names I obscured. But the
revelant details are unchanged.
