utils: clear struct tm before calling strptime Some strptime implementations clear the struct tm while others do not. Since we want zeros for everything other than the year, month, day, hour, and minute, we need to explicitly memset the struct. This wasn't noticed before since illumos libc falls into the category of zeroes-tm-for-you implementations. On systems that do not zero struct tm automatically, various random values end up in tm_sec which causes the subsequent mktime to return a value that doesn't represent the passed in string's meaning.
