The %T specifier do not allow ranges.  I've changed the behavior 
here so that, when the user specifies a time range, only the first
time spec is taken into account.

The %T specifier _requires_ a time to be set (otherwise you would use
%t), but I agree the current time looks wrong here.  So this is now
00:00 instead.  This does not look perfect, but it's better IMHO.

Thanks for reporting these bugs.

Best,
