I don't understand this error. What does it mean? For starters, where's the
constant???

Cheers,

Re: IRIX 5.3 warning

"struct tm gmt" is a structure, and it is being initialized in an auto
declaration block.  I *think* ANSI requires such initializations (of
structures, not scalars) to be compile-time constant (but I haven't
bothered to look).  That's why I think the compiler is generating the
warning.
