 According to the C2011 draft I have available, the values in the
struct tm, passed to mktime(), are not restricted to the normalized
ranges. (2.27.2.3 §2).

 Is this to be taken literally, such that any combination of values in
the tm struct, that corresponds to something that can be expressed in
a time_t is a valid input?

 As I read the following paragrahp, that seem to be the case. Which
lead me to think of exxtreme cases like tm_sec, tm_min, tm_hour,
tm_mday and tm_mon all at INT_MAX, and tm_year set to a sufficiently
large negative value. 

 Am I missing something, or would a conforming implementation have to
handle this?
