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.
