Skip> On my Mac it displays "12345".  I don't see that as a big problem.

haypo> Why do you say "problem"? It is the correct result :-)

I agree.  I interpreted your ticket as complaining that it should raise
a ValueError if year > 9999:

>> time.strftime() should raise a ValueError if the year is bigger
>> than 9999, as it is done with Visual Studio for year
>> outside [1; 9999].
