Thank you Sven.

I had made the fixes myself, creating a new class for dates (I don't need the complexity of Date just for determining if a date is past, I don't need date arithmetic either). I just wanted to inform, mainly because the bug seems to be still present in Pharo 3.0.

Anyway, your solution does not work for the 'd/m/y' pattern, although it does for 'd/m/yy'.

I could write the tests you suggest, if you think they are interesting.�

The fix would be quite easy:

� year := (inputStream next: 2) asInteger

should be

� year := 2000 + (inputStream next: 2) asInteger

A more important problem is that there are no users of #readFrom:pattern: in the system, not even unit tests. If we want to keep the methods, someone should start by writing a couple of unit tests.
