Bug #10036: Time.parse raises NoMethodError: undefined method `<' for nil:NilClass when called with out of range arguments and a negative offset

To replicate:

require 'time'
Time.parse("2014-13-13T18:00:00-0900") # => NoMethodError: undefined method `<' for nil:NilClass

This should instead return "ArgumentError: argument out of range", like it does with a positive offset:

Time.parse("2014-13-13T18:00:00+0900") # => ArgumentError: argument out of range

Fix is a one-liner on GitHub: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/667
