Research direction
Run the provided Hungarian and English DateDataParser commands to reproduce the differing results, then trace the Hungarian locale's handling of month, weekday, and day values. The fix is done when "október 29., péntek 9:13" resolves to October 29 at 9:13 rather than October 1, with a regression test for the Hungarian input.
