Actually, I checked glibc's asctime, and it has the same behaviour. But the 
point is that asctime can return NULL.

Yes it does. If asctime returns NULL, you'll segfault.
Now, if you ask me why he's encoutering this bug, I'd guess that he's using 
py3k' test_time.py, which added tests feeding invalid tuples to time.asctime. 
But it's just a wild guess.

Anyway, the code in python 2.7 is buggy, and must be fixed.
