Hello,

I'm no rrdtool wizard but since this seems to be caused by the patch I
sent in recently I'll answer anyway ...

I tried to follow the formal time syntax specification (in parsetime.c)
while making my changes.

Excuse me, but is "yyyymmdd hh:mm" supposed to be a valid
TIME-SPECIFICATION? Generally, if we don't use offset TIME-SPECIFICATION
is basically TIME-REFERENCE. Roughly speaking, TIME-REFERENCE is a
TIME-OF-DAY-SPEC followed by either of the DAY-SPEC flavors. So it
seems to me that the correct syntax should really be "hh:mm yyyymmdd"
but then again, I might be wrong.
