I'm planning introducing threading in one of my projects, but I found a problem with unix time handling functions.

localtime() and gmtime() functions are using a library internal tm struct, so they are not thread-safe, but they are used in U++ core.

It would be a good idea to change them to their _r variant soon, I think.

I can do the fixes, but it is not very urgent for me, as I'm not working on this project yet, but I think somebody else can fix this bugs, if he/she feels it very important.

Done.
