[R] what happende to as.POSIC.ct ???

[BXC (Bendix Carstensen)]

In my 1021-version I get:

> version
         _              
platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     x86            
os       Win32          
system   x86, Win32     
status                  
major    1              
minor    2.1            
year     2001           
month    01             
day      15             
language R              
> as.POSIXct( "1970/01/01" )
[1] "1970-01-01 Rom"

But having upgraded to 1023 I get:
> version
         _

day      26             
language R              
> as.POSIXct( "1970/01/01" )
Error in fromchar(x) : character string is not in a standard unambiguous
format

Apparently the error comes out of as.POSIXlt which is called by as.POSIXct,
and it looks as if the behaviour of strptime has changed. But I cannot 
find any differences in the code.

Any clues??
