The PD version of ctime(3) which was recently posted has a problem in
generating its data files on some systems. The author was unable to
duplicate it, but is present on this AT&T/Convergent 3B1 (System V).
I have defined USG_COMPAT (and examined the few lines affected in
localtime.c).
The program 'zic' is what generates the compiled data base of time
zone descriptions. An entry with no daylight savings time, such as
"CST6" is fine, but the DST entries such as "CST6CDT" are zero:
0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0
*
0000054
Getting GMT time instead of CST6CDT is the end result. I haven't
found the cause yet...has anyone else?
