> }A hand-initialized struct tm is likely to be bogus, and you _have_ to call mktime to normalize it before. (and indeed if you call mktime before strftime it works). It's up to the caller to sanitize his struct tm's before calling anything that uses one. Hence I'm tagging the bug wontfix, but will gladly accept patches for that. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
