Bruce,
What is this datetime patch you speak of?
I'm spending today looking at the datetime handling (actually, all of
the timezone handling that trickles down from nabstime.c) -- my 6.1
install on AIX 3.2.5 broke heavily, and I think I've finally figured
out all of the problems.
If someone else is looking at this, I'd like to put our heads together.
Whoever fixes it, I think it definitely needs to go into 6.1p1. I can
have patches ready today, I just have to research "official" BSD and
POSIX.1 timezone support a little more.
