Y2K bug in Solaris?!?
Read OriginalThe article details a technical bug found in Solaris 9's strptime function, where parsing a date string without seconds incorrectly sets the year to 1905 instead of 2005. The author compares behavior with Linux, questions Solaris's standards compliance, and invites others to test on Solaris 10 and other Unix systems, providing a code example and analysis of the specification.
