Subject: bug in Time, it wraps some dates to next month

Maybe this is a feature, but I don't think so:

[ensemble] ~/p/ruby/src/ruby $ ./ruby -e "p Time.local(2004, 'feb', 31, 1, 1, 1)"
Tue Mar 02 01:01:01 EST 2004

So it wraps into the next month if the day-of-month is past the end of
the month. Arguably a feature.

But:

[ensemble] ~/p/ruby/src/ruby $ ./ruby -e "p Time.local(2004, 'feb', 32, 1, 1, 1)"
-e:1:in `local': argument out of range (ArgumentError) from -e:1

It doesn't do it if the day-of-month is past 31?

So, I think it is a bug, not a feature.

[ensemble] ~/p/ruby/src/ruby $ ./ruby --version
ruby 1.8.1 (2004-03-20) [powerpc-darwin]

Cheers,
Sam
