The form
(timezone-parse-date "Fri, 17 Mar 89 4:01:33")
evaluates to the vector
["1989" "3" "17" "4:01:3" "3"]
The documentation for the function says
"Parse DATE and return a vector [YEAR MONTH DAY TIME TIMEZONE]. ...
TIMEZONE is nil for DATEs without a zone field."
Therefore, the last element of the above vector should be `nil'.
As I understand, the problem is caused by the first regular expression
in the `cond' expression in `timezone-parse-date'. The following
patch seems to solve the problem:

;; Styles: (1) and (2) with timezone and buggy timezone

I use Emacs 21.3, but I notice that the regexp is the same in the CVS
version. Should I submit a bug report or a patch?
