Subject: asctime(3) dies on years > 1999
Index:	/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/ctime.c 4.2BSD

Description:
	The asctime() routine will die on dates after Dec 31 23:59:59 1999,
	producing a string with an incomplete year.

Repeat-By:
	#include <sys/time.h>

	main()
	{
		char *ctime();
		long clock = 946702800;		/* or anything greater */

		printf("Next line should be: Sat Jan  1 00:00:00 2000\n");
		printf("%s", ctime(&clock));
	}
Fix:
	On line 292, change:

 		cp[2] = '0' + t->tm_year >= 200;

	to:

 		cp[2] = '0';
