Seems like mktime(3) is having problems with dates before the
epoch. Attached is the a program to test this. The glibc source is now
downloading I will try to hunt down this bug but not until the next
week.
Regards,
Manuel.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct tm fails;
fails.tm_sec = 0;
fails.tm_min = 0;
fails.tm_hour = 0;
fails.tm_hour = 0;
fails.tm_isdst = -1;
fails.tm_year = 69;
fails.tm_mon = 11;
fails.tm_mday = 30;
if ( mktime(&fails) != -151200L ) {
printf("mktime is broken\n");
return 1;
}
printf("mktime test passed\n");
return 0;
}
