Howdy Folks,
In irb (1.8.2), executing Time.local(2005,2,31) results in Thu Mar 03 00:00:00 CST 2005 being returned. Ruby figured out that February 2005 ended on the 28th and that the 31st is 3 days past the 28th, so it rolled the date ahead to March 3rd.
Is this intended behavior or a bug?
I would expect Time to raise ArgumentError. This is what occurs when Time.local(2005,3,32) is run.
Thank you,
Ben Gribaudo
