++       parse-datetime: fix crash or infloop in TZ="" parsing
++       * lib/parse-datetime.y (parse_datetime): Break out of the
++       TZ="" parsing loop once the second significant " is found.
++       Also skip over any subsequent whitespace to be consistent
++       with the non TZ= case (CVE-2014-9471)
