Description:
------------
Using strtotime() funktion on dates between 2006-05-01 to 
2006-05-30 always returns -1.

This issue only affects May dates in 2006 which is weird.

Reproduce code:
---------------
strtotime('24 May 2006 0:00');

Tested only with swedish localisation so you could try

setlocale(LC_TIME,'swedish');
strtotime('24 Maj 2006 0:00');

Expected result:
----------------
A unix timestamp

Actual result:
--------------
-1

Only effects Swedish dates. i.e. '24 Maj 2006'

strtotime doesn't care about locales, and it won't work. Using the english name works fine here:

<?php
echo strtotime('24 May 2006 0:00');
?>

Yepp I realized that. The darn dates are outputted from MSSQL 
DB and it work when using PHP 4.3 but when they upgraded to 
Win 2003 and PHP 5.04 I guess the ouput changed from 24 May to 
24 Maj when retrieving from db.

I'm going to bark up another tree now!
