Re: [PATCH 1/1] Fix date checking in case if time was not initialized.

So is_date() always return negative result for the text string where
date is placed before time like '2008-02-14 20:30:45'.

Yes, it returns this -1 on other platforms, but...

It must fail on
other platforms as well.

... the input '2008-02-14 20:30:45' still parses fine for others
(including me).  That is what is puzzling.

A shot in the dark: perhaps your time_t is unsigned?
