Even %4d won't guarantee the advertised 26-character length if tm_year
is big (or small) enough (for example, 10000); bogus tm_wday and tm_mon
values can cause problems as well.  You may want to send a note to an
X3J11 committee member.

offtime was declared static in the mod.sources posting unless
STD_INSPIRED was defined.  Its eventual fate lies more in the hands of
standards committees and other folks wiser than yours truly at this point.
