Description:
------------
I just updated from 5.0.4 to 5.1.0b2 to test on my windows box. strtotime seems to be very messed up returning compeletely wrong dates.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
	echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime('Oct 11'));
	echo '<br>';
	echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime('11 Oct'));
	echo '<br>';
	echo date('m/d/Y', strtotime('11 Oct 2005'));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
10/11/2005
10/11/2005
10/11/2005

Actual result:
--------------
10/10/2005
07/05/2005
10/10/2005

Indeed it does not parse "11 Oct" anymore, I'll fix this.

You did fix "11 Oct" but you didn't fix "11Oct" which also used to work.  this returns 01/01/1970

11Oct is an important format to have working, as it is the format that many use in the travel industry.

Ok, I'll add that too.
