Bad date representation

Is there a bug in the postmaster ?
with -e option the date must be in European format
but with no options the date may be in European or American format !

create table FOO (date date);

1.- postmaster -i -o -e 
 insert into FOO values('20-06-1999');  insert into FOO values('06-21-1999'); we have a "Bad date external
representation"that is true.
 

2.-postmaster -i
 insert into FOO values('06-22-1999'); insert into FOO values('06-07-1999'); insert into FOO values('23-06-1999');
<----no ERROR  WE Have NO ERROR !!!!! why ???
 

and on select * from FOO the result is 
date ---------- 06-22-1999 06-07-1999 06-23-1999
