>Description:
	While debugging some code that works under Linux but fails
	under NetBSD I eventually realized that our strptime is
	(a) different from Linux and (b) not the inverse of our own
	strftime.

	I do not claim to understand the details of time formats, but it would
	seem to be wrong that strftime can produce a string that strptime
	cannot parse. Especially as other OSes don't have the same limitation.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Just read the docs. 
>Fix:
	First we need to decide if this is a bug or not.
