>Description:
Some years the week number is off by 1 with the %V format in
strftime.
The code unfortunately checks for how many days the year has before the
first Saturday (5 in 1996), instead of how many days the year has
before the first Monday (0 in 1996).
>How-To-Repeat:
/bin/date +%V
/bin/date +%W
Since January 1st 1996 is on a Monday, they should give the
same result.
>Fix:
Apply this patch.
