No, seems like to_char only work corrently if the length of the month
correctly...

test=*# select to_date('10 August 2007','DD Month YYYY');
to_date
------------
2007-08-10
(1 row)

test=*# select to_date('10 August 2007','DD Month YYYY');
to_date
------------
0007-08-10
(1 row)

But this is described, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-formatting.html

,----[ quote ]
| MONTH full uppercase month name (blank-padded to 9 chars)
| Month full mixed-case month name (blank-padded to 9 chars)
| month full lowercase month name (blank-padded to 9 chars)
