This is the exact same problem. The segfault you get in strftime is
caused by -1 being used as an array position (foo[-1]).
As I said, you got this problem by ignoring practical programming, which
means checking return values.
Anyway, if you want to really argue it you should redirect to
libc-alpha. They are upstream and I guarantee that Ulrich will see this
the same way.
