-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
 I was adapting my code to work inputs from strings and outputs for strings
 with the local_datetime class for different languages, and came across a
 problem in local_time_input_facet.
 Even when I change the global locale the code was just accepting the
 strings in English.
 Analyzing the code of the class I realized that the parent class
 date_input_facet always defined the internal parser to locale:: classic ()
 (date_facet.hpp line 451 and 462  m_parser(m_format,
 std::locale::classic())).
 I changed the definition for std::locale() and the program now work
 correctly (m_parser(m_format, std::locale())).
 This is a bug, or is there any reason to be this way?
 I am developing on Windows XP with Visual Studio Express 10.
