I believe that I have found a bug in the above file and would like for someone else to santiy check it. At line 290 in a_utctm.c, a separate code block is being used if the library needs to call gmtime_r() to get the time structure. The value is stored in a temporary (data) that is declared in this code block. The address of the temporary is assigned to an "external" variable tm. This can cause some memory corruption problems. The memory corruption would occur if the compiler removes the memory allocated to the temporary after the code block is done. The derefencing of tm a couple of lines later could result in a SIGSEGV because that memory has been returned. The solution to this problem is to remove the code block and declare struct tm data at the beginning of ASN1_UTCTIME_cmp_time_t().
