Does 01/11/08 have a different result? What about 2008-01-11?
A 4-digit year is handled correctly. Problems occur with a 1 or
2-digit year , or no year at all.
Actually just found I found that with 1/11/08 (or 01/11/08) the date
is set to 1/11/1908, which RT displays as 'not set' in the web
interface. RT (and the time parsing module) by default assumes an
'ambiguous' year is in the past - 08 is interpreted to be 1908.
You can change the setting to assume future dates, but that would
convert '12/10' to '12/10/08' which might not be what you want. Also
I found that using the 'prefer future' setting gives seriously odd
results for some dates - '12/10/99' comes out as 1963-11-03 .
