[Python-Dev] Passing silly values to time.strftime

Just noted (that's Just-the-person, not me-just-noting:-) that on the
Mac time.strftime() can blow up with an access violation if you pass
silly values to it (such as 9 zeroes).

Does anyone know enough of the ANSI standard to tell me how strftime
should behave with out-of-range values? I.e. should I report this as a
bug to MetroWerks or should we rig up time.strftime() to check that
all the values are in range?
