parse hangs on a date-like string with lots of embedded spaces

[jonpincus]

Trying to parse this string never returns. lt looks like catastrophic backtracking in the regex matching, probably due to all the embedded spaces

This is fixed in 98815b5. (2.2.4)

Please note that I fix the problem by limiting the whitespace size.
e.g. Your input won't be extracted as a date.
