	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.

	Fix:
		On line 292, change:

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

		to:

			cp[2] = '0';

This fix works for years from 2000 to 2099, but blows up for years after 2100.
The original bug was due to missing paretheses.  The correct fix is to
change the line in question to:

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