System: NetBSD petium.gmd.de 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (PETIUM) #5: Tue Mar 24 18:00:04 CET 1998 simons@petium.rhein.de:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/PETIUM i386

>Description:
	strptime() produces incorrect data when creating the tm
	structure. If strptime() parses the month to be '10'
	(October), it writes the '10' into the tm structure. The
	tm_mon field in the tm structure, though, starts at zero!
	Hence the result is one month in the future.

>How-To-Repeat:
	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <time.h>

	int
	main()
	{
	    char buf[] = "10-04-1998";
	    struct tm tmp;
	    memset(&tmp, 0, sizeof(struct tm));

	    strptime(buf, "%m-%d-%Y", &tmp);
	    printf("%s", asctime(&tmp));
	    return 0;
	}
