Thank you for information.
As Heinrich noticed, gmtime, strerror, and strtok are non-thread-safe
(for example, in most recent version of glibc strtok just uses a static
pointer without a tls specifier), so in a multi-threaded environment
thread-safe versions of these functions should be used. The problem I
encountered is that gcc (Debian 4.7.2-5) 4.7.2 installed on my Linux
machine doesn't have gmtime_s, strerror_s, and strtok_s. It is unclear
what to do if no thread-safe version of these functions are available.
