Thanks.  That's now two very different systems (FreeBSD and HP-UX)
that both have the same or similar problem with strptime() and the
LOOSE_RFC* formats.  I don't recall any problems quite like this in
3.1.x, but I think those usually (or always) used a different, bundled
strptime() function.  I think this HtDateTime class in 3.2 is going to
need a serious makeover soon.  Personally, I think the safest approach
would be to do away with strptime(), and parse the header date strings
directly with our own code.
