Not at all, since in this call the format is the fixed constant
"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S".  But it's odd that your BSD variant has strptime()
where Bruce's does not.

I suppose it doesn't much matter though: we have to recode without
strptime.  No big deal.  I'll fix it tomorrow if no one beats me to it.
