I get the right thing when I use the right format:

regression=# select dt, to_timestamp(dt, 'FMMonth dd, yyyy') from test_date;
       dt       |      to_timestamp
----------------+------------------------
 March 11, 1997 | 1997-03-11 00:00:00-05
(1 row)

However, I'd agree that this shows a lack of robustness in to_timestamp;
it's not objecting to data that doesn't match the format.

                        regards, tom lane
