tags 525549 patch thanks [CCing Sam and Don this time.]
Okay, I couldn't quite reproduce this on i386 either - it will only
happen intermittently, I expect. When I tried it, the string at (name +
pathlen + 1) seemed to be "h". Occasionally, it might be something
strptime can parse, and then the main file would get deleted.
Here is the (as yet untested) patch that I think should fix this:

I'll try to get round to a delayed NMU this week after I've tested it,
if I don't hear anything.
