I'm using DateJS to parse user-inputted dates, and getting some strange results.

Date.parse("15 Jan 2010") returns Fri Jan 15 00:00:00 EST 2010 (right)
Date.parse("15-Apr-2010") returns Thu Apr 15 00:00:00 EDT 2010 (right)
Date.parse("15 Apr 2010") returns Thu Apr 1 00:00:00 EDT 2010 (wrong)

As far as I can tell, the d MMM yyyy input format works fine for every month except April and August; in those two cases, it returns the first of the month no matter what day is entered. Is this a bug, or is there a logical explanation I'm missing?
