The basic problem is that when you specify 12-10-21 it means 0000
hours.  That is often when DST changes.  Better to specify noon
instead which is far from when DST changes.

Very likely those dates are valid.  Since you didn't say what timezone
you are working in I can't look to see what was happening there.


With no further comments to Bob's explanation in 6 years,
I'm closing this bug.
