Dear all,

I just found a weird behavior of the timeDate related functions Sys.timeDate() 
and as.timeDate().
Both of them take place when showing fractions of seconds and I think they 
might have the same source.

Do you know if it should be considered a bug of Sys.timeDate()? Also, what is a 
good way to generate timeDate with fractions of seconds from strings? I know I 
can just get the whole part of seconds and add fractions to it. That is a 
little bit unnecessarily awkward IMO. Thanks!
