>Description:

mktime(3) fails on some condition.

For example, TZ=Africa/Monrovia, 1972/05/01 00:44:30 cannot be converted to
time_t.  Since this example is taken from `zdump -v Africa/Monrovia' and it
is after Epoch, there is no reason to fail.

Actually, I tested all time listed in `zdump -v' for each timezone in
/usr/share/zoneinfo and found many failures.  Above failure is one of them.

>How-To-Repeat:

% cat tst.c 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
  struct tm a;
  time_t t;

  a.tm_year = 1972 - 1900;
  a.tm_mon = 5 - 1;
  a.tm_mday = 1;
  a.tm_hour = 0;
  a.tm_min = 44;
  a.tm_sec = 30;
  a.tm_wday = 0;
  a.tm_yday = 0;
  a.tm_isdst = -1;

  t = mktime(&a);
  if (t == -1) {
    perror("mktime");
    exit(1);
  }
  printf("no problem\n");
  return 0;
}
% gcc tst.c
% TZ=Africa/Monrovia ./a.out   
mktime: Undefined error: 0
