title: SimpleDateFormat.parse()
body: <p><code>SimpleDateFormat.parse()</code> accepts the date <code>003/1/2011</code> when the format is <code>MM/dd/yyyy</code>. Trying with code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
  sdf.setLenient(false);
  Date dt2;
  try
  {
      dt2 = sdf.parse(_datemmddyyyy);
  }
  catch (ParseException e)
  {
      return false;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the date is parsed as <code>00/11/2011</code>. What is wrong?</p>
