I can't comment on localtime() but I can't for the life of me see any 
reason to write the other four into the driver... why sacrifice all that 
hard-won stability for ... I can't even figure out what for -- I'm not 
sure there's any significant speed improvement.

The ssave_object() and rrestore_object() are especially dubious -- just 
as save_object() and restore_object() are in the first place. Why would 
the objects not know how to export their own state? If they -do- know 
how to export their own state, converting this to ASCII representation 
is once again not very difficult...
