[dbforms] proposed solution to solve problem with date parsing

[Sergio Moretti]

with this patch we can restrict the range into which we consider a date 
"valid", if a date is not in this range, an exception is raised.
I propose to define a date as valid if at least day and month are 
recognized. Without this, any input string is transformed in a valid 
date, and cases considered in parseDATE are never executed
