mktime

Would you mind much adding that to the testsuite so it stays yellow as long as the bug isn't fixed?

The function my_tm_diff() in buildint_functions.c is bugged. It doesn't differentiate between months of different length, but treats all months as having 30 days, 10 hours and 30 minutes. This means that e.g. the dates 2004-01-31-12:00:00 and 2004-02-01-01:30:00 will be considered _equal_. The recent failures of the testsuite is due to these state of affairs. The bug can be reproduced with

mktime(gmtime(1075550400))

The bug is likely to occur with any date being the last day of a month containing 31 days, after 10:30 AM.
