[O] parse-time-months/weekdays configuration conflicting with gnus (?)

[Rainer Thiel]

I have configured the variables parse-time-months and
parse-time-weekdays with the German months and weekday names and
appropriate abbreviations to be able to use them when setting a
time-stamp in org-mode.  This has worked fine for years, and still
does as far as org-mode is concerned.

Since I recently switched to emacs 24.0.93.1, this configuration
appears to conflict with gnus.  When starting gnus, I am getting an
error message like «Invalid date: Tue, 06 Mar 2012 17:53:09 +0100».

Does anyone know how to get this right?

Many thanks in advance.
