As said, i see this on both an x86 box and my powerbook, but the complete code
is more involved, having a pselect, as well as a SIGALRM handler, which both
trigger the localtime_r, as well as a postgresql access and files access.

I will try to provide a minimal program which exhibits the problem, but i
needed a quick solution today, since the work goes into pre-production testing
today.
