The isuse #13674 added tests on strftime() for %y format with year < 1900 on Windows. It looks like AIX doesn't support them.

I keep the issue open until the test succeed on AIX.

Ok, the test passed with the second fix.

Thanks, guys; I'm afraid I only watched the stable buildbots when I committed - the AIX doesn't seem to be included.

Oh, the test is failing with the same error on Solaris:

I leave the issue open until I see the test passing on Solaris.

This broke OpenIndiana:
