Whoops, must have done a bad copy-paste to get that DECREF in there (I couldn't apply the patch directly because it didn't come from an HG repo, so I had to do it by hand).

MSVC seems somewhat inconsistent about its response:
>>> strftime('aaa%')
''
>>> strftime('aaaa%')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Invalid format string

How closely do we want to simply expose the underlying C library's behaviour?
