Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment:

You cannot have both: a safe implementation and the correct behavior with glibc 
(not Linux!) -- except if you start special-casing.  Not sure that's worth it.

Note that time.asctime() is documented in time.rst to return a 24-character 
string, so what it currently returns with glibc is violating our docs as well.
