 Hmm..  but  the patch  fix  another  small  bug  which I  found  today.
 Please,  if  you don't  submit  all  of the  patch,  fix  two lines  in
 do_to_timestamp():

 line: 2997 must be:
    incache = TRUE;

 line: 3039 must be:
    if (!incache)

 (Note:  this another  bug appear  if  format picture  for date/time  is
 greater than 128 bytes -- for this probably nobody find it yet)
