The fix in the next release will be that the error is caught and the
date wil be set to NONE. You'll see no difference in file or
directory reading but if you use MODIFIED? or INFO? on one of these
files, the date will come back as NONE. Basically, and FTP server
that is responding with localized dates is bad. The only way to deal
with that would then be to have all abbreviations for all languages of
the world in your program and that's ridiculous.
