Sure, I'm also doing all testing on Linux :-) But unfortunately, the users
here typically have win on their workstations...

Good, could you please remove it then?

BTW, shouldn't the localtime_r in compat/ actually use memcpy, i.e. look
like this:


struct tm *localtime_r (const time_t *timep, struct tm *result)
{
    struct tm *s = localtime (timep);
    if (s == NULL || result == NULL)
        return NULL;

    memcpy(result, s, sizeof(result));
    return result;
}


    Thanks & kind regards,

         M.
