last log corrupted

if I do a "last" the entries stop last Sunday... when there was a problem
with /var filling up.

I know someone mentioned this before but I cannot find the email...
something to do with the logs (utmp/wtmp?) getting corrupted which would
cause a cease in logging.

Any help with this? Thanks!
(I'd like to try to preserve what I have already in the logs if possible as
I use it a lot)
