You're right, but it does not compile without the 3rd argument! Maybe 
this is due to gcc_4.0.3_s10 ? Should one simply rely on ctime?

Cheers Christian

man ctime_r

char *ctime_r(const time_t *clock, char *buf, int buflen);

      The ctime_r() function has the same functionality as ctime()
      except  that the caller must supply a buffer buf with length
      buflen to store the result; buf must be at least  26  bytes.
      The  standard-conforming  ctime_r() function does not take a
      buflen parameter.
