Potential segfault in localtime_r invocations

Details
Package chrono
Version 0.4.19
URL chronotope/chrono#499
Date 2020-11-10

Impact

Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library.

Workarounds

No workarounds are known.

May be a duplicate of #40 - keeping it open as this one is for the chrono crate while #40 is for the time crate

The time crate has fixed this issue (I think, but judging from the discussion on the linked issue it seems somewhat still occuring?). Keeping this on hold because as of now there are no known fixes to chrono or work arounds for this issue.
