get a wrong time information in multi-threaded application
Issue
- Sometimes customer's application gots wrong timestamp when using localtime() call.
- It didn't happen in the system time and hwclock command. It only happened in their own application, so a wrong implmenetation must be a root cause.
- Customer confirmed that they use localtime() function as their system gathering method and use multi-thread.
Environment
- OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2
- glibc version is not provided
