(underlying_strftime): Set the buffer to a nonzero value before calling strftime, and check to see whether strftime has set the buffer to zero. This lets us distinguish between an empty buffer and an error. I'm installing this patch by hand now; it will be superseded whenever the glibc sources are propagated back to fsf.org.
