Yep. I just tracked this down. Someone (or ones) has started posting
articles with a date in a format timezone.el cannot understand. Instead of
just having "Jan" in the date, it has "January".

I did a quick kludge to fix this in my copy of timezone.el by changing the
code which extracts the month to only extract 3 characters.

There was a line in the function timezone-parse-date which contained the
expressions as arguments to a substring extraction:

(match-beginning month) (match-end month)

I changed it to read:

(match-beginning month) (+ 3 (match-beginning month))

This may not be the best possible fix, but it was quick and easy and seems to
work for me.

I think you probably won't see this bug unless you are sorting articles by
time.
