Subject: musl's asctime catches Python bug

There was another bug that I didn't want to mention until Python security
had a chance to respond: undefined behavior in their asctime()/ctime()
wrappers for year > 9999, found by virtue of musl's use of a_crash to
highlight the problem.
The public discussion is at https://bugs.python.org/issue31339 if anyone's
interested.
