That's another ANSI function.  According to Info, it returns the
following struct:

     struct date {
       short da_year;
       char  da_day;
       char  da_mon;
     };

That should do what you want.

 were using 62 megs it
would have the exact same problem at the command prompt, which it does not.

So what is wrong with PGCC? What other circumstances will make it emit that
error message? Environment space perhaps? RHIDE will fill its environment and
that of any subtask with $RHIDE_COMPILE_FLAGS and so forth, so that could be
it, except I just don't see why cc1plus would use environment space as internal
storage.
