  The @code{ctime} function need not be reentrant, and consequently is
  not required to be thread safe.  Implementations of @code{ctime}
  typically write the time stamp into static buffer.  If two threads
  call @code{ctime} at roughly the same time, you might end up with the
  wrong date in one of the threads, or some undefined string.  There is
  a re-entrant interface @code{ctime_r}, that take a pre-allocated
  buffer and length of the buffer, and return @code{NULL} on errors.
  The input buffer should be at least 26 bytes in size.  The output
  string is locale-independent.  However, years can have more than 4
  digits if @code{time_t} is sufficiently wide, so the length of the
  required output buffer is not easy to determine.  Increasing the
  buffer size when @code{ctime_r} return @code{NULL} is not necessarily
  sufficient. The @code{NULL} return value could mean some other error
  condition, which will not go away by increasing the buffer size.
  
  A more flexible function is @code{strftime}.  However, note that it is
  locale dependent.
