Title:
  Ubuntu 12.04 touch -t does not work for March 9 2014

Status in coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Version of Ubuntu used:

  lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
  Release:	12.04
  Codename:	precise

  
  I am using touch -t to generate files to test backup file rotation.  'touch' does not believe March 9, 2014 is a valid date.

  Working:

  touch -t "201303090220" somefile
  touch -t "201403100220" somefile

  Not working:

  touch -t "201403090220" broke
  touch: invalid date format `201403090220'
