           Summary: when importing a vCard, zeros in the dates are
                    required
           Product: kaddressbook
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marco.costantini71 at yahoo.it
                CC: tokoe at kde.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) 
OS:                Linux

Suppose that I import a vCard in Kaddressbook.
I the vCard contains a line such as
BDAY:1900-5-19
(note the one-digit month), then the date is not imported in the Kaddressbok
contact. On the other hand, if the line is
BDAY:1900-05-19
(note the month with a leading zero), the the date is correctly imported.
This happens with both version 4.2.2 and 3.5 of Kaddressbook.
Even if the vcard standard requires the two digit numbers, I think it would be
better to support also the one-digit ones.

I set the severity to "major", because actualy there is a data loss: when
importing the vCards, the date gets lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just try to import a vCard file, once with a line
BDAY:1900-05-19
then import the same file, but with that line modified into
BDAY:1900-5-19
without the zero

Actual Results:  
In the first case the date is imported, and in the second is not

Expected Results:  
the date should be imported in both cases

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-21-generic
