The trouble is that directory-listing-before-filename-regexp matches
that last possible string that looks like a date. It has to do this
because, without knowing anything else about the locale, we can't
distinguish (say) user-names from month names.
However, when we are using the iso date format, it's possible to be
stricter, and I have changed the regexp accordingly. This fixes the bug
for the current specific case. Though I'm not sure how to fix it for,
say, files named "Aug 7 2009 foo".
