1217	Unit Posix time/date behaviors differ across operating systems	nemo		"Procedures seconds->local-time and string->time produce different results on (Arch) Linux vs OS X. Windows behavior is unknown. This likely reflects a difference in the behavior of strptime on the two systems---see:

[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31984002/why-does-strptime-behave-differently-on-osx-and-on-linux]

Giving a fully specified and unambiguous time string in Chicken does not fix this problem. For example,


{{{
(string->time ""2015-08-25 12:00:00 EDT"" ""%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z"")
}}}

returns different vectors on OS X vs Linux."	defect	new	major	someday	core libraries	4.9.x		posix time date		insane
