 	Oops!
 
 	I was a bit too hasty (and definitely too tired) to write
 	the PR last night.
 
 	The true culprit is strptime() that already parses the date
 	"Tue, 15 Aug 2006 23:48:36 +0300 (EEST)" wrong producing
 	1597464000 on return, though the correct value should be
 	1155674916. (The offset here amounts to roughly 14 years.
 	I.e. 2020 instead of 2006.)
 
 	So, blame it on strptime(3) instead.
 
 
 	Cheers,
