There is a bug in the "timepm1" section of the edit:

> timepm1:"12"|!13!<1>|!14!<2>|!15!<3>|!16!<4>|!17!<5>|!18!<6>|timepm2

It will fail for the following time ranges if you don't include a
colon in the source data:

    1310-1319
    1420-1429
    1530-1530
    1640-1649
    1750-1750

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to see why.

Note that this problem does not occur if the source data includes
the colon.
