I believe that sscanf requires time_string to point to allocated memory.
The manpage for sscanf says:
s A character string is expected; the corresponding
argument should be a character pointer pointing to
an array of characters large enough to accept the
string and a terminating \0, which will be added
automatically. The input field is terminated by a
white space character.
