I have not seen any last(1) patches for 11.00.
It is best to report this to HP-support.

You can not do much with dump and last(1)
comes with no-symbols.

To debug something at your end, you can run
`tusc` on last(1) and see if any obvious
system call failures.

It could be a corrupt wtmp file. You could try "> /var/adm/wtmp" to null out the file and start over.
