#1217: Unit Posix time/date behaviors differ across operating systems

-----------------------------+---------------------
 Procedures seconds->local-time and string->time produce different results
 on (Arch) Linux vs OS X. Windows behavior is unknown. This likely reflects
 a difference in the behavior of strptime on the two systems---see:

 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31984002/why-does-strptime-behave-
 differently-on-osx-and-on-linux]

 Giving a fully specified and unambiguous time string in Chicken does not
 fix this problem. For example,


 {{{
 (string->time "2015-08-25 12:00:00 EDT" "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z")
 }}}

 returns different vectors on OS X vs Linux.
