Summary: parsedate fails

Initial Comment:
On Windows XP with Ruby 1.8.6 and Rails 1.2.3

Using String#to_date (which calls parsedate) raises the message "can't modify frozen string"

Trace:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb:105:in `chomp!'
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb:105:in `method_missing'
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb:963:in `_parse'
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/parsedate.rb:47:in `parsedate'
#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/conversions.rb:14:in `to_date'
...

I was unable to reproduce the error using irb.

The problem does not occur with 1.8.5.
