Hi Pádraig,

this is what I get from a small test program:

	./ttt 			19971130 7
	LANG=C ./ttt		19971130 7
	LANG=POSIX ./ttt	19971130 7

	LANG=en_US ./ttt	19971201 1
	LANG=de_DE.utf8 ./ttt	19971201 1

	LANG=fr_FR ./ttt	19971130 1
	LANG=ru_RU ./ttt	19971130 1
	LANG=pl_PL ./ttt	19971130 1

where the '19971130 7' comes from the file glibc-2.3.6/locale/C-time.c.
This may or may not be wrong.
