+	* strftime.c (my_strftime) [HAVE_STRFTIME && ! (_NL_CURRENT
+	&& HAVE_STRUCT_ERA_ENTRY)]: Initialize the first byte of ubuf[]
+	to be nonzero so that we (and caller) can detect the difference
+	between a valid zero-length expansion and an error return, even
+	when the underlying strftime fails before writing anything into
+	that location.

 	* getdate.c: Regenerate using bison-2.0.
