Actually it returns a span of 1 second :-)

I was assuming your original example worked, but it doesn't. And I
haven't worked with Chronic much, so I'm not sure if that argument is
even something it's expected to handle. For example this works fine:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :007 > result = Chronic.parse('last year', :guess => false)
=> 2011-01-01 00:00:00 -0800..2012-01-01 00:00:00 -0800
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :008 > result.class
=> Chronic::Span
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :009 > result.width
=> 31536000

while this obviously doesn't:

ruby-1.9.2-p290 :010 > result = Chronic.parse(1/1/2011 - 1/1/2012,
:guess => false)
=> 2012-01-01 12:00:00 -0800..2012-01-01 12:00:01 -0800
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :011 > result.class
=> Chronic::Span
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :012 > result.width
=> 1
ruby-1.9.2-p290 :013 >

Time to jump into the gem source, I think :-)
