It seems that the "start" field is designed to always be a fixed width, so it probably shouldn't merely use the locale date format, as this may cause variable widths. In lieu of fixing this to obey the locale, I would suggest this should be changed to always use a 24-hour time format, as 24-hour time is the standard format for many locales including en_US and C. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
