Fix strftime error handling
Unlike snprintf, strftime buffer contents are undefined when it fails,
so make sure the buffer is null-terminated. To prevent garbage from
being printed out, we simply set the timestamp to the empty string, but
maybe setting it to "unknown time" or something similar would be better.
Either way, I don't think this can fail until year 10000, so it's not a
big deal.
