Subject: [ruby-core:57690] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7445] strptime('%s %z')	doesn't work


Issue #7445 has been updated by felipec (Felipe Contreras).

File 0001-time-fix-strptime.patch added

Also, if '%s' is used for UTC, then why do we get this?

require 'time'
Time.strptime('0', '%s')
=> 1969-12-31 18:00:00 -0600

I'm attaching a patch that does exactly what we want:

Time.strptime('0', '%s')
=> 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000
Time.strptime('0 +0100', '%s %z')
=> 1970-01-01 01:00:00 +0100
