1.3.2 bug on NT 4: localtime() & timestring() set errno on success

[Larisa A Stephan]

I notice that localtime() and timestring() tend to set errno to 0x2 even
though they succeed (return a non-NULL pointer).  I THINK this is a bug,
but maybe someone can correct me.  I checked the archives and found one
mention of this issue, but no one followed up to tell the guy he was nuts,
so maybe it is really a bug.

As long as you are expecting that this could happen, it's not fatal.
However, this appears to be a new phenomenon because an executable that we
had compiled a couple of years back (now unknown DLL version) didn't do
this.

Attached are the following:
   An example source file
   The output of running this code
   My cygcheck output (per the bug reporting instructions)

Thanks, guys.  Feel free to let me know if this not a bug, and if so, let
me know where I can read up on the expected behavior of these functions.

Before I call anything, errno = 0x0
(I'll reset errno to 0 before each time library call.)
time() returned 0x3b5dc0f4 and set errno to 0x0
timestring() returned 0x61090100 and set errno to 0x2
