This is a bug/problem with Core function StrToDate. Specifically the problem is with the code:

		if(IsDigit(*s)) {
			char *q;
			n = strtoul(s, &q, 10);
			s = q;
		}

This normally reads the next number from the string s and stops when it encounters a non-digit char. When the date format doesn't include any non-digit characters it will just convert the whole string into a number, when the code that follows expects it to be a day, month or year number.

I can't see a workaround besides using non-digit characters as seperators. luzr?
