Description

XalanC 1.8 and XercesC 2.5
Solaris 5.8 and Forte CC 6 update 1

XalanEXSLTFunctionDateTime::execute() uses localtime() and gmtime(). These
functions are not threadsafe. It is causing my application to core when
running multiple threads. Replacing those two functions with localtime_r()
and gmtime_r() fixes the problem. Running under purify, I get Free memory
read, Freeing unallocated memory, and Free memory write errors in the
xalanc_1_8::XalanEXSLTFunctionDateTime::execute() method.
