Yeah. I was kind of surprised that CVS HEAD doesn't complain about this
--- I thought we'd tightened up the error checking in to_timestamp.
I think it's been occasionally seen as a feature that something like
'2009-02-29' will be read as '2009-03-01', but it's hard to imagine a
real use case for month outside 1-12.
