Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2-9 Severity: normal Tags: Sarge
The problem is that in libc6 2.3.1-16, mktime always returns -1 for dates that are before 1970. >I ran into this problem because I assigned a Python programming time >zone problem to my students ><http://www.cs.ucla.edu/classes/spring03/cs131/hw/pr2.html>. Students >who were running Debian testing could not do the assignment because >their programs mishandled dates before 1970. Students who were >running Debian stable (3.0r1) worked fine, as did students running >Solaris. So this is a regression from 3.0r1. Hi! Is this problem still accurate? We have the same problem with PHP4 under Sarge (uptodate 10/11/03).
