I haven't tested this against the latest from CVS but I would like to report a
problem parsing a date on the last day of the year.

Here's some sample code to demonstrate the problem (in C# using IKVM, I'll give
version numbers later):


----------------------------------------------
        SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
        df.setLenient(false);
        for(int i=1970; i<2010; i++) {
                 ParsePosition pp = new ParsePosition(0);

                 try {
                          Date date = df.parse("31/12/" + i.ToString(), pp);
                          Debug.WriteLine("date=" + date.toLocaleString());
                 }
                 catch(System.Exception ex)
                 {}
        }
----------------------------------------------

The date pattern shown here is the same as the standard SHORT pattern for the
en-GB (UK) locale. 

With IKVM 0.32/Classpath 0.93 this code fails to parse any of the dates, with
the lenient flag set either way.

With IKVM 0.3/Classpath 0.92 and setLenient(true) all of the dates parse OK.
But with setLenient(false) the following dates fail with a
NullReferenceException:

31/12/1971
31/12/1972
31/12/1976
31/12/1977
31/12/1982
31/12/1983
31/12/1988
31/12/1993
31/12/1994
31/12/1999
31/12/2000
31/12/2004
31/12/2005
