[Boost-users] [date_time] time_from_string() bug?

Hi all,

I come across a bug in boost::posix_time::time_from_string();

try
{
    ptime t1(time_from_string("2005-01-01"));
    cout << to_simple_string(t1) << endl;
}
catch (...)
{
    cout << "exception thrown" << endl;
}

The above code will strangely output: "2005-Mar-25 13:01:01"

time_from_string() will parse "2005-01-01 12", "2005-01-01 12:23" and 
"2005-01-01 12:23:33" correctly.

It will even parse "2005-01-01 34" to the next day and output 
"2005-Jan-02 10:00:00"

Does anyone have a fix for this bug? It should either parse correctly or it 
should throw an exception.

Thanks
Michael
