            Bug ID: 29461
           Summary: strptime() failed to parse negative %s number of
                    seconds since the Epoch, happily produced by
                    strftime()
           Product: glibc

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

strftime(), strptime() %s format test with negative timestamp

strftime(,"%s",) can produce negative number of seconds since the Epoch for
date before the 1970-01-01, but strptime() refuses to parse negative numbers,
thus is unable to parse the string formatted by strftime().

For example, the attached test case reports the following:

    strftime() produced "-3600"
    strptime() failed to parse "-3600"
