well, i've now discovered that if i remove the time zone ('%Z') from the
format string, it doesn't have this problem. so the workaround for the
actual script i'm writing is to remove the time zone from the string i
want to parse, and just use the format string '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y'.
so i guess it is a bug in the interpreter...?
