Hello everyone:
When I compile the attached test case with SAFECode (tried on asha and
bach) I get a large number of Out of Bounds / Load Store errors. The
test calls gmtime() which returns static memory. These errors also
occur if the function that is called is replaced with localtime().
However, other time-related functions that return static memory like
ctime() (as well as the reentrant versions of gmtime() and
localtime()) do not cause SAFECode to complain.
Before filing a bug I'd like to know if there is a reason for this
behavior or if this is already known.

Thanks,
Matt
