Might be but this isn't the line where it crashes. Also it work's very
well filling the tm struct.

Note that the crash happens in the next line:
> >    strftime(time, sizeof(time), "%c", tm);

but only if the locale is set. This test program is only to demonstrate
the error in strftime, in the original program I get the value for tm
from other places (strptime).

But however, when rewriting the line to "tm = localtime(time(NULL));" I
get a compile error as there is no such function called time. Maybe
there is something really wrong with the eglibc?
