Great, glad to hear this was recently fixed. I installed
the latest version of the time package, and it works.

It is important to note that this works differently than the usual
strptime behavior, though. For example, "%m" in Data.Time is
an alias for "%0m", whereas "%m" in strptime means the
same as "%-m" in Data.Time (optional leading zero).

Thanks,
Yitz
