problems with ctime_r

I just downloaded the latest version of pthreads-win32, and I am now
getting errors.
Most of the errors were due to redefinitions of symbols defined in winsock.
I was able to work around this by making sure I included winsock before
pthread.h.
However, I am still getting errors when trying to call the function
ctime_r. My old code used to work, so I diffed the old and new versions of
pthread.h
The old version was:
#define ctime_r( _clock, _buf, _len ) \
( strncpy( (_buf), ctime( (_clock) ), (_len) ), \
(_buf) )
The new version is:
#define ctime_r( _clock, _buf ) \
( strcpy( (_buf), ctime( (_tm) ) ), \
(_buf) )
It appears there was some sort of mixup with this function, because the
macro is using an undefined variable _tm. Further, it is providing 3
arguments to strcpy, which only wants 2.
Am I going crazy here, or is this a bug?
