[PATCH] doc: mention unfixed issues with unsupported localtime() values


From: Pádraig Brady
Subject: [PATCH] doc: mention unfixed issues with unsupported localtime() values
Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 16:19:39 +0000

Note perl has configure time checks in place to avoid this.

* doc/posix-functions/localtime.texi: Mention that FreeBSD 10
returns nonsense for localtime(2^56).
* doc/posix-functions/localtime_r.texi: Likewise.
