Hello all,
thanks to

and others who pointed into the right direction.

I moved the old file - which was still growing - away and did
touch /var/adm/wtmpx
This last step is important. The system will not create the file if it
does not exist. Now "last -a" gives me current logins again. Obviously
the old kfile got corrupt somehow, so that last was not able to read it
completely.
Thanks,
Andreas
