Solaris mktime with multiple timezones

[Olson, Arthur David (NCI)]

I compiled the small program (bugtest.c) mentioned in the letter below using the
latest elsie.nci.nih.gov source;
the program ran okay. As Scott mentions, folks on the mailing list probably do
need to be aware of the bug.

	I have posted the attached message to comp.unix.solaris, so replies
	should probably be posted there.  I wanted to notify this mailing list
	since the bug affects those who use multiple time zones in their
	programs...
	I have uncovered a bug in the mktime() routine found in libc.so.1 and
	libc.a on my SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2
	machine:

	-rw-r--r--   1 bin      bin      1155756 Jun 23  1997 /usr/lib/libc.a
	-rwxr-xr-x   1 bin      bin       664760 Jun 23  1997 /usr/lib/libc.so.1

	I have attached a small program which should determine if your system
	has the bug or not.
