Package: cvsps
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: normal

The "-d" flag is not documented to be picky, but it is -- very picky.  But
when the user specifies a bad date string, it silently misinterprest that
string.

The code looks for a string of the form '1999-12-31 23:59:59' (with specific
spacing and punctuation).  Failing that, it uses atoi() to interpret the
string as a Unix time_t value.  But it does this silently, and it ignores
any non-numeric values.

This is buggy, and also very very unfriendly.
