           Summary: DateTimeOffset.ParseExact cannot deal with certain
                    inputs
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: SVN
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: System
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com
        ReportedBy: geza at mailinator.com

In microsoft .net 3.5, the following works:

DateTimeOffset.ParseExact("20080616_0126_-0900", "yyyyMMdd_HHmm_zzz",
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString()
"2008-06-16 1:26:00 -09:00"


In Mono, this fails with FormatException.  Apparently, the code assumes that
there's some separator/whitespace after the year, as it tries to parse 5 digits
even if the format specifier is yyyy.  Also, it wants a ':' between the hour
and minute portion of the offset.
