I was told to exported the metadata for the problem records and then reimport them after fixing them. That worked, but I never heard anyone saying that the problem was going to be fixed.

I am almost done and am running index-init, but I’ve just noticed a problem. With previous versions of DSpace, if a “bad” date was encountered in one of the date fields (issue date, accession date, publication date), DSpace just ignored it. Now, it seems it is unable to either display the Item page or the Browse screen if encounters one of these records. Here’s an example: One of our items has the following invalid issue and publication date that our Users have never gotten around to correcting: "Washington, D.C. :1955." If I try to display the Item, the screen is blank and the following message displays in the dspace.log file: 2011-08-18 12:07:14,232 WARN org.dspace.content.DCDate @ Mangled date: Washington, D.C. :1955. ..failed all attempts to parse as date. The same message displays if I try to browse by issue date. I know the “right” thing to do is to clean up our data, but I also know we have quite a few of these old bad dates and am wondering why DSpace is now having a problem with it.
