There are some alternative formats for conversion specifications that cause strftime() to show alternative numeric symbols for the current locale such as %OH, %OI, %Om, .... Unfortunatly the lack of some alternative like %OY makes some applications like GNOME/Evoluation crash after translation: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553770 [it's really an old bug!] It would be so nice if devlopers could enhance this feature. Sorry, I'm not an advance bug reporter!
I have no idea what you're talking about. You have to provide a small, self-contained test case. If you have this, reopen the bug. But not before.

This is what I'm talking about with a lot more information and it is solved on gnome side: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658107 I just reopened the bug, but if it's not related, feel free to close it again ;)
%OY may be also good for locale lzh_TW (see http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15681 ) Is that supported by glibc now?
The Greek locale requires the support of %OB, supported in BSD since 1999, and documented by POSIX since 2010: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=258 Note that this adds a new set of locale keywords, 'alt_mon ALTMON_1' through 'alt_mon ALTMON_12', for describing the genitive case for '%d %OB', while the existing '%B' remains the nominative case.
