This should never happen. The '"':s in the error could be causing it.

(I assume you pressed 'q' a few times?)

The date should not be zero-padded, I think this is what causes the
error (although the error is kind of strange).

`format-time-string' can pad dates with blanks and zeroes, but it
can't leave the date un-padded. Sigh. Could you see if this works
better in 0.35?

If we're unlucky `format-time-string' also gives out months in the
current locale, so you could end up with strings like '8-Okt-98'. Not
nice. I'm not sure how Lars has solved this (this has turned up
recently within the NNTP code too).
