How about if we fix nis/nis_print.c to use localtime_r and strftime instead of 
ctime? ctime is not thread-safe, and ctime_r is problematic due to the potential 
problem of overrunning its output buffer when given outlandish timestamps, so 
such a fix should be made regardless of the Y2038 changes.
