// MODULE: SafeTime.h
//
// PURPOSE: threadsafe wrappers for some standard time-related calls.

// NOTES: 
//	1. gmtime, mktime, and localtime all use a single statically allocated tm structure 
//	for the conversion. Each call to one of these routines destroys the result of the 
//	previous call.  Obviously, that's not threadsafe.
//	2. Right now this only deals with localtime, because we're not using the other 2 fns.
//	If we need to use gmtime or mktime, they'll need to be built analogously, using the 
//	same mutex.
//	3. _tasctime uses a single, statically allocated buffer to hold its return string. 
//	Each call to this function destroys the result of the previous call.
