Fiji DST to end 2010-03-28
by Steffen Thorsen March 3, 2010

March 3, 2010

The Cabinet in Fiji has decided to end DST about a month early, on 2010-03-28 at 03:00. The plan is to observe DST again, from 2010-10-24 to sometime in March 2011 (last Sunday a good guess?). Official source: http://www.fiji.gov.fj/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1096:33… A bit more background info here: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/fiji-dst-ends-march-2010.html Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com

The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2010c.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2010c.tar.gz ...are now available; these reflect the changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list (including KRE's suggestion for earlier initialization of "goahead" and "goback" structure elements). I plan to do Samoa and Bangaladesh research this week. --ado

I'm forwarding this message from Nobutomo Nakano, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list, please direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: Nobutomo Nakano [mailto:nobutomo.nakano@Sun.COM] Sent: Friday, February 19, 2010 7:45 To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Bangladesh DST We received a report from Bangladesh saying that the start/end of Bangladesh DST is incorrect. Currently we have only the Bengali version of the official mail from BTRC which describes the following: "From 2010 each year when local standard time is about to reach March 31 at 10:59:00 PM clocks are turned forward 1 hour (11:59:00 PM) and when local daylight time is about to October 31 at 11:59:00 PM clocks are turned backward 1 hour (10:59:00 PM)." So, DST will start/end 1 minute earlier. Best regards, -Nakano

core dump from within asctime_r()
by Robert Elz Feb. 18, 2010

Feb. 18, 2010

A NetBSD user reported fsck dumping core (when attempting to correct a corrupted filesystem). That's not nice. Upon investigation, the core dump turns out to be from within asctime_r() (as called via asctime() from ctime()). The code in fsck just does p = ctime(&t); where "t" contains one of the time fields from an (already determined to be corrupted, or we wouldn't be printing) inode. ctime() is (or course) just asctime(locatime(t)) locatime() can return NULL these days, and given a nonsense time value (which is quite likely under these circumstances), probably did, but asctime() doesn't expect anything but a valus "struct tm *" and will simply dereference NULL is NULL is returned from localtime() - instant core. It would be possible to make ctime() be tm = localtime(t); if (tm == NULL) return NULL; return asctime(tm); and in theory that would be adequate, but I'm actually going to suggest moving the fix into asctime() (into asctime_r() really of course), and have asctime_r() start if (timeptr == NULL) return NULL; I think that's a safer fix. Appended is the patch I suggest, made against the tzcode2009t sources (latest I believe.) kre
