According to http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200201/msg00406.html
"Well, building with just USE_XOPEN, and without _XOPEN_SOURCE or
+EXTENSIONS, seemed to work on Solaris 8, DU 4.0, and HP-UX 11.00 -
no problem with "strptime()"."

The problem is not with the strptime() declaration, but rather that the function will reset the tm structure to 0 before filling it, which break the reported time. This behavior is implementation dependant.

Still waiting more comment from an user with a machine to experiment this on. Setting tm_isdst to -1 seem to partially fix the problem, through this is definitly not a clean solution.
