Synopsis: mktime() fails under certain conditions

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: brian
State-Changed-When: Mon Aug 14 13:47:04 PDT 2000
State-Changed-Why: 
I (and many others) believe that it is more correct to return an error
from mktime() when it's asked to construct a time from some time that
can't happen.

Others belive that mktime() should succeed during leap-periods.

POSIX (I'm told) doesn't specify either.

IMHO this is therefore a non-issue.  FreeBSD's mktime() returns
an error and will stay that way.
