[issue24917] time_strftime() Buffer Over-read

[Steve Dower]

Steve Dower added the comment:

Larry: agreed, no crashing. We'll get the trivial fix in that doesn't raise any error, and should probably stop suppressing the exception in the situation eryksun describes. That will correctly expose the platform's strftime semantics.

Unless you want to write more thorough validation of incoming strings, I'll work something up later today or tomorrow.
