The bug is in the test class, not cause by HP-UX.
Lib/test/test_time.py:713 says "self.assertEqual(self.yearstr(-1), self._format
% -1)" where self._format is set in line 654 to "_format = '%04d'" because

Unfortunately, the zero padding in printf() applies to the entire string
length. So

on HP-UX, Linux and FreeBSD.
The format string must add an additional zero for negative numbers.
