Any clue as to why this happens?
I'm not quite sure what you meant by "above release/2.28.master" and "on
release/2.28.master just below the committed patch". However, one
possible explanation for an infloop if the patch is improperly installed
so that time/mktime.c is compiled for glibc without _LIBC being defined;
in that case mktime's body could be just '__tzset (); return mktime
(tp);' which would infloop. You can investigate this by disassembling
mktime.
