+       parse-datetime: fix failure to diagnose invalid input
+       date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date
+       rather than diagnosing the invalid input.  Now it reports this:
+       date: invalid date '\260'
+       * lib/parse-datetime.y (to_uchar): Define.
+       (yylex): Don't sign-extend "other" bytes.
+       * m4/parse-datetime.m4: Require AC_C_INLINE for first use of "inline".
+       Thanks to Bruno Haible for the patch to this file.
+       * tests/test-parse-datetime.c (main): Add a test to trigger the bug.
+       Peter Evans reported the bug in GNU date: http://bugs.gnu.org/11843
