     Type:  Patches            |      Status:  new       
Milestone:  Boost 1.40.0       |   Component:  date_time 
  Version:  Boost 1.39.0       |    Severity:  Problem   
 Keywords:  gmtime, localtime  |  
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
 In the patch provided, a new implementation is made for vs2005 and up with
 secure method. The _s methods are similar to the _r used on the unix-like
 OS.

 Also, with the previous implementation the buffer received was not filled,
 only the return pointer was ok.  This behavior was not as per the _r ones,
 so I fixed it.
