please help: chkrootkit: possible deletion in utmp

Hy!

Chkrootkit shows no infections, but at the end it outputs:

Checking `chkutmp'... => possibly 144 deletion(s) detected in /var/run/utmp !
chkutmp: nothing deleted

I checked utmp, btmp and wtmp with the last-command, everything seems right.

Why can there be deletions in utmp?

Thanks!
