Both issues seem to be a product of the same problem. Code in mkgmtime looks like this:

    return ((((((tm->tm_year - 70) * 365) + mdays[tm->tm_mon] + tm->tm_mday-1 +
                  (tm->tm_year-68-1+(tm->tm_mon>=2))/4) * 24) + tm->tm_hour) * 60 +
        tm->tm_min) * 60 + tm->tm_sec;

if tm_mon is outside of mdays array, problems happen. However, in date_from_ISO8601 mon calculated as:

    tm.tm_mon = 0;
    for(i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
       XMLRPC_IS_NUMBER(text[i])
       tm.tm_mon += (text[i+4]-'0')*n;
       n /= 10;
    }

as you can see, the check is for text[i] but the value used is test[i+4]. This leads to tm_mon having values which may be negative or may be more than mdays array's size. 

I will attach a patch shortly.

Can you tell me how can I reproduce it using Address Sanitizer? I am using this PHP script to invoke the bug: http://pastebin.com/5BezBkVe
and the output I've got is: http://pastebin.com/xWXyVt7m

then I patch my PHP to the newer version, but I still get the exact same output. How can I verify that my system is not affected by this bug?
