1.3.2 bug on NT 4: localtime() & timestring() set errno on success

I notice that localtime() and timestring() tend to set errno to 0x2 even
though they succeed (return a non-NULL pointer). I THINK this is a bug,
but maybe someone can correct me. I checked the archives and found one
mention of this issue, but no one followed up to tell the guy he was nuts,
so maybe it is really a bug.
As long as you are expecting that this could happen, it's not fatal.
However, this appears to be a new phenomenon because an executable that we
had compiled a couple of years back (now unknown DLL version) didn't do
this.
Attached are the following:
An example source file
The output of running this code
My cygcheck output (per the bug reporting instructions)
Thanks, guys. Feel free to let me know if this not a bug, and if so, let
me know where I can read up on the expected behavior of these functions.
