In this code:

	main()
	{
		  long i;
		  char *t;

		  t = ctime(time(&i));
	}

the problem is simple.  The argument to ctime() is a pointer to a long,
not the long itself.  This will work on all of the Unix systems I know:

		  time(&i);
		  t = ctime(&i);

More careful reading of your manual would have revealed this.
