+- Issue #8013: time.asctime and time.ctime no longer call system
+ asctime and ctime functions. The year range for time.asctime is now
+ 1900 through maxint. The range for time.ctime is the same as for
+ time.localtime. The string produced by these functions is longer
+ than 24 characters when year is greater than 9999.

- Issue #6608: time.asctime is now checking struct tm fields its input
before passing it to the system asctime. Patch by MunSic Jeong.
