CVS commit: src/lib/libutil

["David A. Holland" <dholland%netbsd.org@localhost>]

Module Name:    src
Committed By:   dholland

Modified Files:
        src/lib/libutil: parsedate.y

Log Message:
When computing relative months, use mktime() directly and don't call
our Convert(). And check it for failure. This fixes three sets of
problems:

  (1) depending on the passed-in value of Timezone it might
      disassemble the time in one timezone and reassemble it in
      another, causing mysterious offsets of a few hours;

  (2) with the previous set of changes to this file, Convert() fails
      if it ends up normalizing a date, so e.g. going three months
      forward from March 31 would fail;

  (3) previously if Convert() failed we passed -1 on to DSTcorrect(),
      which made a mess.

PR 50574.
