Description:
------------
localtime returns years after 1900, so for 2005 it's 105.
When using this number back into mktime it returns FALSE with 5.1.1. When using 5.0.x it returns the correct value. Try running the code at "Reproduce code" with both 5.1 and 5.0.

This is expected behavior, but due to backwards compatibility it would be nice to have this interpreted differently.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$ltime = localtime(time(), true);
print mktime (0,0,0,0,0,$ltime['tm_year']);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Because of the behavior of localtime it would be nice to have the correct value returned with mktime
