Sorry for spamming, but I found that above solution is not 100% perfect:
It causes warnings in proftpd.log. Instead of removing /var/log/wtmp
better write the following directive in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf:

Apparently, wtmp just keeps a log of _all_ logins. Removing that file
disables this logging (I have it in proftpd.log anyways) and solved my
problem!

My solotion for now based on my comment above is to modify
/etc/logrotate.conf to back these files up daily with three backups and

due to the wtmp and btmp files being large unless they have even more
logins daily than I do. Be
I figured it out by attaching to the process with gdb and doing a
backtrace. Apparently my wtmp and btmp files got full from devices doing
remote logins on a regular basis. I became suspicious that there was
something particular to what I was doing based on how few people were
affected by this. Her
