Which boost version do you use? In the current trunk version I see that 
posix_time::to_tm(ptime) calls gregorian::to_tm to initialize date 
portion of the tm structure.

Or were you referring to posix_time::to_tm(time_duration)? If so then 
the comment explicitly says that the resulting tm structure has zeroed 
date portion. Considering that the original argument is duration, I 
think the function behavior is correct.
