BUG: pd.date_range(...) produces timestamps outside the specified range

[kochede]

Hi Pandas devs!

This call produces 3 timestamps when it has to produce only two:
pd.date_range('2005-01-12 10:00', '2005-01-12 16:00', freq='345min')
this gives:
<class 'pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex'>
[2005-01-12 10:00:00, ..., 2005-01-12 21:30:00]
Length: 3, Freq: 345T, Timezone: None

strangely, for another date function works as expected:
pd.date_range('2005-01-13 10:00', '2005-01-13 16:00', freq='345min')
this gives:
<class 'pandas.tseries.index.DatetimeIndex'>
[2005-01-13 10:00:00, 2005-01-13 15:45:00]
Length: 2, Freq: 345T, Timezone: None

Could you please take a look? Thanks!
