Bug #1030: strftime "%x" should generate something strptime can parse
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1030

Author: Gordon Ross
Status: Resolved
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Gordon Ross
Category: locale - data and messages
Target version: 
Difficulty: Medium
Tags: needs-triage


LANG=en_US.UTF-8 date '+%x'
has wrong output in the first 9 days of the month:
<pre>
$ date '+%x'
05/ 6/11
</pre>
(Note the space before the numeral six)

This breaks programs.  For example, it prevents Evolution from
creating a calendar appointment.

The problem is that strftime generates something that strptime can not parse.
