RE: bug report with strftime on win2000

[Aharon Robbins]

I beg your pardon?  The results I showed are what I just got, on my
GNU/Linux system.  I have LC_ALL="C" in my environment; I begin to suspect
locale-related issues.

Let's bypass gawk.  Redhat 8.0 GNU/Linux; here's some C code:

        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <time.h>
        
        int main(void)
        {
                char buf[100];
                time_t now;
                struct tm *t;
        
                (void) time(& now);
                t = localtime(& now);
        
                strftime(buf, sizeof buf, "%g%m%d", t);
        
                printf("%s\n", buf);
        }

Upon compiling and running it:

        $ cc foo.c
        $ a.out
        031231

If there's a bug, I don't know what it is, but it's not in gawk, it's
in the underlying C strftime function.

I hope this helps.
