Hello list, Using gnulib's mktime on MinGW platform, I found that a call to mktime() hangs for dates before 1970-01-01 01:00:00. To reproduce, I compiled mktime.c into an executable file as instructed at the bottom of the source code.
> mktime 1970-01-01 01:00:00 mktime returns 0 == 1970-01-01 01:00:00 yday 000 wday 4 isdst 0 but > mktime 1970-01-01 00:59:59 (no response) and the same happens for older dates (The original occurence was a testcase in octave's source code using the date 03/13/1962) benjamin
