+Summary: DateTime.Parse accepts invalid date string on Windows
+
+On Windows, DateTime.Parse accepts an invalid date string :
+
+DateTime.Parse("15/01/2004", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
+
+should throw a FormatException as the given date string should be
+interpreted as MM/dd/yyyy and there's no 15th month.
+
+but instead Mono converted it to a time specification
+
+8/02/04 15:01:20  (result of DateTime.ToString())
+
+On Linux, the behaviour is correct and a FormatException is indeed thrown.
