too small.

Not enough, lt and gmt can be different days.

I found the sources of exim here, where I found a similar method,
but with checking of year and day. So I have attached a new patch.

Yours sincerely

+   PDF Reference, third edition says about the expected date format:
+   <blockquote>
+     3.8.2 Dates
+ 
+       PDF defines a standard date format, which closely follows that of
+       the international standard ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One),
+       defined in ISO/IEC 8824 (see the Bibliography). A date is a string
+       of the form
+ 
+         (D:YYYYMMDDHHmmSSOHH'mm')
+ 
+       where
+ 
+         YYYY is the year
+         MM is the month
+         DD is the day (01-31)
+         HH is the hour (00-23)
+         mm is the minute (00-59)
+         SS is the second (00-59)
+         O is the relationship of local time to Universal Time (UT),
+           denoted by one of the characters +, -, or Z (see below)
+         HH followed by ' is the absolute value of the offset from UT
+           in hours (00-23)
+         mm followed by ' is the absolute value of the offset from UT
+           in minutes (00-59)
+ 
+       The apostrophe character (') after HH and mm is part of the syntax.
+       All elds after the year are optional. (The prefix D:, although also
+       optional, is strongly recommended.) The default values for MM and DD
+       are both 01; all other numerical elds default to zero values.  A plus
+       sign (+) as the value of the O field signifies that local time is
+       later than UT, a minus sign (-) that local time is earlier than UT,
+       and the letter Z that local time is equal to UT. If no UT information
+       is specified, the relationship of the specified time to UT is
+       considered to be unknown. Whether or not the time zone is known, the
+       rest of the date should be specified in local time.
+ 
+       For example, December 23, 1998, at 7:52 PM, U.S. Pacific Standard
+       Time, is represented by the string
+ 
+         D:199812231952-08'00'
