[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51340] datevec jump hour on 29/03/2009 02:*

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #51340 (project octave):

I'm not convinced that the underlying issue is different than bug #36954.
The issue there is in the end identical to what is shown in comment #9 here. 

That this bug is about datevec.m is a red herring - what matters is that any
function that in the end relies on strptime() is affected.

What I found -after some web-searching- is that what strptime() does for
non-existent times is implementation-dependent - see bug #36954 comment #11. 
Octave apparently uses a "faulty" strptime() implementation.
