[R] as.POSIXct character string is not in a standard unambiguous format

Hi

I have lots of issues when I try to install R 3.3.3 during the "make 
check" step.

Every time a call to as.POSIXct is done in test scripts, I got the same 
error message:
e.g. x <- as.POSIXct("2002-02-02 02:02")
Error in as.POSIXlt.character(x, tz, ...) :
   character string is not in a standard unambiguous format


It looks to be linked to localtime but when I compiled R 3.3.2  6 months 
ago, the same test scripts were there and succeeded.


Is there an environmental variable to use to change the as.POSIXct behavior?

Regards
