Hmph. I was wondering if that was really portable or not :-(. Any ideas about a quick-and-dirty replacement?
Maybe we could call abstimein or something like that. We just want to convert a human-readable string value to a time_t, and I can't say that I thought the strptime behavior was all that friendly anyway...
Under FreeBSD:
" The strptime() function does not correctly handle multibyte characters in the format argument"
Not sure how critical that is for what you are doing, mind you ...
