--------------------------------------------------
NET uses SimpleDateFormat to parse short dates; however this does not work
properly for Feb 29.
The current work-round fails for leap-years.
[Later] the problem with SimpleDateFormat is that it assumes the year is 1970 -
which was not a leap year.
The workround is to append the current year to the short date before parsing.
This works fine if the current year is a leap year, as is true of 2012.
However, if the ftp server continues to display short dates after the end of
2012, the work-round will fail at the start of 2013.
Many ftp servers only display short dates for +/- 6 months; such servers will
switch to long format dates for Feb 29 before the end of 2012, so won't be
affected.

Hope to have a fix soon.
