Bug #2378

Updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans) over 4 years ago

=begin 
  
  On MRI 1.8.6, ParseDate.parsedate('nn-nn') returns sensible data: 
 
  ruby -rparsedate -e "p ParseDate.parsedate('08-09')" 
  ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] 
  [8, 9, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil] 
 
  Essentially, it treats nn-nn as yy-mm. 
 
  In MRI 1.8.7, there is a regression, and the returned values now are less sensible: 
 
  ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mswin32] 
  [nil, nil, 8, nil, nil, nil, "-09", nil] 
 
  Day and weird zone, huh? 
 
  This also leads to RubySpec failures on MRI 1.8.7.
