Description of problem:
in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date/format.rb the function self.__strptime(str, fmt, elem) (line 87)
when reading the month data skips the third entry (%d). looks like it's eaten by %m.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ruby 1.8.5

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
# ruby
require 'date'
d=Date.strptime("20110103", "%Y%m%d")
p d
  
Actual results:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:650:in `new_with_hash': 3 elements of civil date are necessary (ArgumentError)
	from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/date.rb:675:in `strptime'
	from -:2


Expected results:
#<Date: 2011-01-03 (4911129/2,0,2299161)>

Additional info:
this bug is no longer present in ruby 1.8.7 so it is just a matter of updating the rpm for ruby
