Typo: s/to returned/to be returned/

> `get_field()`.

I am suggesting rephrasing this paragraph a bit to make it more clear:

| The function `lj_cf_os_time()` calculates the `tm_mon` and `tm_year`
| values using `get_field()`. If this helper function returns a negative
| result, subtraction may lead to undefined behavior due to signed integer
| overflow. The patch fixes the issue by adding a cast to the value
| returned by `get_field()`.

Feel free to ignore.

I prefer the <lj-1454-ub-os-time.test.lua> name (as you named the
branch). Feel free to ignore.

I prefer the lj-1454-ub-os-time name (as you named the branch). Feel
free to ignore.
