bug#3190: parse-time-string chokes on unicode day/month names

[Jan Seeger]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

parse-time-string skips unicode characters in date strings. Example:

(setq german-month-names
      '(("jan" . 1)
        ("feb" . 2)
        ("m=E4r" . 3)
        ("apr" . 4)
        ("mai" . 5)
        ("jun" . 6)
        ("jul" . 7)
        ("aug" . 8)
        ("sep" . 9)
        ("okt" . 10)
        ("nov" . 11)
        ("dez" . 12)))

(mapc (lambda (x) (add-to-list 'parse-time-months x))
      seeger-german-month-names)

(parse-time-string "Sa, 02 M=E4r 2009 15:05:24 +0200")
 -> (24 5 15 2 nil 2009 6 nil 7200)

Expected:

(24 5 15 2 nil 2009 6 3 7200)

This error is due to parse-time-string chars using the parse-tim-syntax tab=
le to check for valid characters.

Jan Seeger
