Description Pekka Lampila 2007-09-05 08:48:38 UTC 
When using gmtime_r with huge value on amd64 it creates a brokentime with big
tm_mon value. If you then call strftime and use %b the program will crash.

I will attach an example.

Comment 2 Pekka Lampila 2007-09-05 08:54:50 UTC 
Oh, damn it, I should have checked the return value of gmtime_r
Still, is strftime supposed to crash with big tm_mon value?

Nothing to see here, move along
