I think someone wanted to start a mailinglist on this but I'm not sure what happened. I remember checking out some of the bugfixes that were done to solaris and at that time (1/2 year ago) linux had the same problems (I think it was strptime in libc).
A quick check in the source-code of glibc-2.0.5 reveales that it has the X/Open fixes to strptime. date (from sh-utils 1.12) and touch (from fileutils-3.13) are also safe from the problems mentioned by X/Open.
