I guess I'm going to side with Greg Black on his blog entry.

I seem to recall that that particular one wass not an accidental bug. I believe I fell over exactly the problem that Greg Black complained about (or almost the same; maybe my problem was setting the month and day to zero and formatting only the time :-) and tried to convince the author to change it; but was told that the new behavior was never documented and that the new behavior was somehow better; and I didn't fight it further then. Do I remember this correctly? Does anybody else recall?
