 1) Goto you your blog and create a new post.

 2) Enter a subject and some blog text (doesn't really matter)

 3) Enter an invalid date like 2007-04-31 and save the post as unpublished
 article.

 The error is:

 a) No error message for the invalid date. It will be just saved.

 b) If you view the article the link looks like this:
 http://www.foo.invalid/2007/05/01/bug/

 This is the wrong date. And the view link will result (even as admin with
 the right so see unpublished articles) in a 404.

 c) The database data is screwed too:

 Here are the important 3 fields:

 > post_date 2007-04-31 17:09:36

 Non existing data. But this could be a mysql bug.

 > post_date_gmt = 2007-05-01 16:09:36

 Wrong date.

 > guid = http://www.epstacy.de/2007/05/01/bug/

 And wrong link for the article.
