Subject:	SIGSEGV in localtime()?

I've got this simple piece of code:

time_t current_time;
struct tm *boot_time;
current_time = time(NULL);
boot_time = localtime(&current_time);

that is very stupid and *should* run on every posix machine, but..
with the latest cygwin dll release (1.3.20) I receive this error:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x6100d074 in cygwin_attach_handle_to_fd () from /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll

Two more notes:
  - In the cygwin dll release I had before updating the last week (I cannot
remember which one was, but I know it was two-three months old or so),
localtime() worked without trobles.
  - It seems that I receive the same error also with gmtime and mktime.

I cannot believe that this is an error of my stupid program...
Does anybody have the same problem?

Thank you all for your help,
Marco Giovannini
