Run the code below and you will see the following exception
thrown:

java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of
    range: 25

//Test Case DateTest.java

import java.text.*;

class DateTest
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
SimpleDateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss.SSS zzz");
try
{
dateFormatter.parse("12/31/97 12:00:00.000 GMT");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
}
}
}

If you add a space after GMT then no exception is thrown!

This appears to be fixed in 1.2beta4 FCS, but ideally should be fixed in the 1.1.x line.
