Sorry, I didn't think about the tabs...
By the way, can someone tell me before I send a bug report to the upstream
author, if in an newer version of libc draft (I'm still on slink, and the
version is 0.07) the definition of strftime() is corrected, because, if I
understand correctly the text, the draft says that strftime() returns the
number of chars written, even if there was not enough place in the buffer,
and that's wrong : POSIX.1 defines that in this case the funcion returns 0,
which is actually the case.
TIA
