New submission from sil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
$ python -c "import time; print time.strptime('25/11/2008
25/11/2008','%d/%m/%y %d/%m/%y')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/_strptime.py", line 311, in strptime
format_regex = _TimeRE_cache.compile(format)

If a format directive is repeated in time.strptime's format string, it
throws an error and should not do so. Subversion, for example, repeats
date parts in its svn log output ("2008-09-26 16:20:59 +0100 (Fri, 26
Sep 2008)"), which repeats both %d (day) and %y (year).
