Patch by Tadayoshi Funaba (with some changes) to be smarter about 

guessing what happened when strftime() returns 0.  Is it buffer
overflow or was the result simply 0 bytes long?  (This happens for an
empty format string, or when the format string is a single %Z and the
timezone is unknown.)  if the buffer is at least 256 times as long as
the format, assume the latter.
