getdate

[Hendrik Uhlmann]

Hello

I have some trouble with the getdate function on my linux system (SuSE
7.1).

If I call getdate twice there are different results. The first call
will give me a wrong result. All later calls (in the same prog) works
cerrectly.

I have searched for this bug in your bug-reports, but I couldn't find
something related. So I decided to mail you this problem.

Is this a known Bug in the glibc, or is this only a Bug on my System,
or I'm to stupid to use this function correct?

I have attached a small programm to make it easy for you to verify
this strange behaviour.

Thank you, for spending your time to this.
