[Boost-users] Possible bugs in date_time package

I'm trying to use the date_time/ptime module to parse strings.

Platform: MacOS X 10.4.7 on Intel
Compiler: gcc 4.0.1

I have three potential bugs, so far. Perhaps I'm unreasonable in  
hoping that the
following strings should be acceptable to time_from_string.

1. time_from_string( "2006-12-06" ) != time_from_string( "2006-12-06  
00:00:00" )
2. time_from_string( "2006/12/06" ) throws an exception (probably  
related to 1)
    even though time_from_string( "2006,12,06" ) doesn't throw.
3. time_from_string( "2006-12-06 " ) throws an exception because it  
passes a null
    string to str_from_delimited_time_duration(), which tries to read  
the first
    character of the string, even though there isn't one.

I think 1 & 2 are probably caused by parse_delimited_time() doing a  
split on ' ' and getting nothing to pass to  
parse_delimited_time_duration().
