Nope. The only benefit would be protecting it from non pike threads (thus not holding the interpreter lock) using localtime at the same time. A rather questionable benefit though, since _those_ threads should really be using localtime_r anyway.

Also, even though using localtime_r would work, it might actually not be benefitia performace wise anyway (since it's not exactly cheap to release and retrieve the interpreter lock).
