Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.11.2-11
Severity: normal
On Linux it is valid to call {get,set}timeofday() with a null timeval
pointer and non-null timezone pointer. This will get or set the
kernel's local time offset, which is used for converting timestamps on
brain-dead filesystems like VFAT. settimeofday(NULL, tz) is also used
to fix the system time during the boot process if the RTC is set to
local time for compatibility with a similarly brain-dead operating
system.
