The second part of the discussion is how to deal with tm_zone. Do we document that if you tzfree() you are going to lose, or do we make it work using a string pool and thread locks? Or something else?
Remember that this means not only tm_zone per se, but also strftime("%Z"), on systems which have tm_zone. (On systems without tm_zone, as far as I can tell there's no way to get strftime("%Z") correct for non-standard timezones, unless I'm overlooking something.) -- Jonathan Lennox lennox@cs.columbia.edu
