There is a BIG difference between "taking the entry for ctime
from the UNIX manual and copying it verbatim" and the fact
that ctime takes a (time_t *) argument!  The former was being
accused of X3J11 as an argument that they had not done any
thinking about the time functions; that is totally wrong.  The
latter is the result of the desire not to break a large base
of existing code.  These are NOT the same issue.
