Re: timing.cc : Assert triggered in some situation

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Jean-Guilhem,

Thanks for this report and patch. I applied it and credited you in r36172.
Since we still don't know what's causing localtime to fail, I added an
error output to diagnose it. Please let us know if you get this error
message (beginning with "Timing error:") and what it says.
