Your culprint is the following code in ls/print.c:

static void
printtime(ftime)
        time_t ftime;
{
        int i;
        char longstring[80];

        strftime(longstring, sizeof(longstring), "%c", localtime(&ftime));
        for (i = 4; i < 11; ++i)
                (void)putchar(longstring[i]);

#define SIXMONTHS       ((365 / 2) * 86400)
        if (f_sectime)
                for (i = 11; i < 24; i++)
                        (void)putchar(longstring[i]);
        else if (ftime + SIXMONTHS > time(NULL))
                for (i = 11; i < 16; ++i)
                        (void)putchar(longstring[i]);
        else {
                (void)putchar(' ');
                for (i = 20; i < 24; ++i)
                        (void)putchar(longstring[i]);
        }
        (void)putchar(' ');
}

So your national `%c' format had better have the ``right'' things in
those positions.
