Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.02-2
Severity: minor

With libc6 2.3.5-6 on i386, this program:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <time.h>
  main() { printf("%d\n",(int)time((time_t *)123)); }

prints "-14".  The time(2) manpage says it would return -1.  I don't
know if this is a documentation error or a glibc bug, but the man page
appears old so I figured I'd start here.
