date fails to parse seconds and nanoseconds

[Kasza Péter]

Date can't seem to parse seconds (or nanoseconds) when they are
immedately after another term. E.g. trying to parse the string
"20140609T150610" (2014-06-09-15:06:10) fails.

> % date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S  -d "20140609T150610"
> date: invalid date ‘20140609T150610’


The date parses correctly, if the seconds are removed:

> % date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S  -d "20140609T1506"
> 20140609T100600


Using the output from the previous command also gives an error:

> % date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%S  -d "20140609T150600"
> date: invalid date ‘20140609T150600’

Is this a bug or am I doing something the wrong way?

Thanks!
