It won't help... the problem is that all the loops that look like this
for (i = 0; *buf != 0 && isdigit((unsigned char)*buf); buf++)
in strptime.c.
These loops do not terminate whenever the requested format is followed
by a digit in the input buffer. for example,
strptime("199908", "%Y%m", &t)
or
strptime("199910", "%Y10", &t)
will trigger the problem.
thanks for the pointer to searching the pr's though, didn't know about
that.
