* lib-src/b2m.c (main): Don't include <limits.h>. (TM_YEAR_BASE): New macro. (TM_YEAR_IN_ASCTIME_RANGE): Don't define if already defined, so that s/ files can override this. Use the more-conservative range 1000-9999. (main): Check for asctime returning NULL. * lib-src/fakemail.c: Likewise. * src/editfns.c (TM_YEAR_IN_ASCTIME_RANGE): New macro, identical to ../lib-src/b2m.c and ../lib-src/editfns.c. (Fcurrent_time_string): Use it. Document that the year might not consume 4 columns if it's outside the range 1000-9999. Check for asctime failure. Don't assume that the output string length is always exactly 24.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-e in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
