Dateformatter.parse does not seem to check the invalid date string.

REPRODUCE:
 1) compile the attached program (test_format.java)
 2) invoke the attached .bat file(exec_test_format.bat)

You will see the following messages 2st.
This is correct case.

c:\temp> java test_format "2004/12/07 11:15:30"
Tue Dec 07 11:15:30 JST 2004
Tue Dec 07 11:15:30 JST 2004

Then you will see the results of invalid date string cases.

c:\temp> java test_format "2004/12/07 11:15:3b"
Tue Dec 07 11:15:03 JST 2004
Tue Dec 07 11:15:03 JST 2004

c:\temp> java test_format "2004/12/07 11:15:3b1"
Tue Dec 07 11:15:03 JST 2004
Tue Dec 07 11:15:03 JST 2004

Even if we set the invalid date string like "2004/12/07 11:15:3b",
The invalid portin of string("3b" and "3b1") seems parsed as "03".

Such invalid string shoule be checked and VM should notify by an exception or
message.
