Core dump calling strptime()

[Erik Cumps]

Newlib's strptime function doesn't implement the 'c' and the 'Z'(*)
format specifiers.  If it encounters one of the non-implemented format
specifiers it calls the abort() function which then results in the core
dump.

(*) Z?  I don't see this format specifier defined on Linux, nor in the
    SUSv3 man pages.  What's its job?

STRPTIME(3)                Linux Programmer's Manual STRPTIME(3)

GNU EXTENSIONS
       For reasons of symmetry, glibc tries to support for strptime  the 
same
       format  characters  as  for strftime.  (In most cases the 
corresponding
       fields are parsed, but no field in tm is changed.)  This leads to
...
       %Z     The timezone name.
