[issue13309] test_time fails: time data 'LMT' does not match format '%Z'

It seems that "mktime" is buggy on Gentoo.
You can try to reset its state in some way before to retry strftime:


t = time.gmtime(time.time())
s = time.strftime('%Z', t)
print(s)

time.mktime((-1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, -1, -1, -1))
s = time.strftime('%Z', t)
print(s)

time.mktime((1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1))
s = time.strftime('%Z', t)
print(s)


I guess it could output:
SAST
LMT
SAST
