The standard requires of mktime that "the original values of tm_wday and
rm_yday components of the structure are ignored."  I have discovered
that if I do not set these components to possibly legal values, mktime
returns (time_t)-1, meaning that it fails.  Will this be corrected, or
do I just live with it?
