An error is thrown if the localtime(2) call failed on the system. It's platform dependent what time ranges that function can handle, e.g. Windows doesn't handle a negative timestamp.

Note

Prior to Pike 7.5 the field "timezone" was sometimes not present, and was sometimes not adjusted for daylight savings time.
