Summary: time_from_string silently misreads date

Initial Comment:
The following code snippet:

       boost::posix_time::ptime t3
            = boost::posix_time::time_from_string
            ("2006-03-02");
       cout << " t3 = " <<
           boost::posix_time::to_simple_string(t3)
           << endl;

Gives:

              t3 = 2006-May-24 14:03:02

Admittedly, the date-time string is misformatted,
as it doesn't have the HH-MM-SS fields, but
silently giving the wrong dete is likely
to be a very serious problem to users.

For the record, let me say that date_time
and boost is general are really very fine
work which I greatly appreciate.
