On Solaris 8, asctime_r takes 3 parameters instead of 2. The prototype looks like this: char *asctime_r(const struct tm *tm, char *buf, int buflen); This patch adds a time.c file to the solaris platform directory. The only change in this time.c file and the stock generic/time.c is that the call to asctime_r passes 26 as the buflen. The Solaris man page for asctime_r says that the result will always be 26 characters exactly. I'm guessing the POSIX asctime assumes that the buffer is at least 26 characters, so assuming the buffer that Parrot_asctime_r gets is at least 26 characters isn't a new risk. Without this patch, the latest version of parrot from CVS will not compile on Solaris 8.
