Squid-2.2 New Year bug

Hi All,

There is a bug in all Squid-2.2 and earlier versions relating to
the end of the year. This bug, in the mkhttpdlogtime() function,
causes timezone offsets to be printed incorrectly. You should
probably apply the patch if you use any of these options:

        * the "common" logfile format for access.log, which is
          enabled with 'emulate_httpd_log' option in squid.conf.

        * the useragent.log, which is enabled with the
          'useragent_log' option in squid.conf.

Installations that use the normal access.log format, and don't
use useragent.log, do not need to worry about this bug.

Also, the bug probably only occurs for less than 24 hours on the
first day of the new year.

The patch is available from the top of the version 2.2 bugs page:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.2/bugs/

NOTE: if you use one of Henrik's snapshots, then you probably
don't need to apply this patch. Henrik submitted this patch
many months ago and I applied it to the 2.3 branch, but failed to
apply it to the 2.2 branch.
