+Convertion from UTC to localtime doesn't work with first patch (but 
+the exceptions have disappeared).
+
+Sample code:
+
+
+static void Main (string[] args)
+{
+	string input = "20030407210500Z";
+	string mask = "yyyyMMddHHmmssZ";
+	Console.WriteLine ("Input: {0}\tMask: {1}", input, mask);
+	DateTime t = DateTime.ParseExact (input, mask, null);
+	Console.WriteLine ("ParseExact (localtime) {0}", t);
+	Console.WriteLine ("ToUniversalTime() {0}", t.ToUniversalTime 
+());
+}
+
+Results (on Linux)
