That is your problem. Somewhere along the way, wtmp got entries from two
different libc's. Delete /var/log/wtmp using the following command:
cat /dev/null > /var/log/wtmp
and you should be fine. Upon your next xterm, or login, you should be
fine, although it won't report current logins.

Using 'rpm -Uvh glibc-*', as is the same procedure for most other
packages.
