+Summary: DateTime doesn't parse formats "--MM--", "---dd", and "--MM-dd"
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+System.DateTime.ParseExact doesn't like formats like "--MM--", "---dd", and
+"--MM-dd".
+
+This works on MS .NET, and is needed for Xml Schema datatypes gMonth, gDay
+and gMonthDay
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile attached test.cs
+2. Run it
+
+Actual Results:
+$ mono test.exe
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Invalid format
+in <0x0013d> System.DateTime:ParseExact
+(string,string[],System.IFormatProvider,System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles)
+in <0x0004c> System.DateTime:ParseExact
+(string,string,System.IFormatProvider,System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles)
+in <0x0001c> System.DateTime:ParseExact (string,string,System.IFormatProvider)
+in <0x0002b> .XMLSchemaExamples:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+$ ./test.exe
