>Description:
	1. The lease date format is bogus. It should not include the
	   weekday! Since it includes the weekday, it uses tm_wday
	   (0-6) so that strftime(3) cannot be used directly (%u is
	   1-7). server/db.c, client/dhclient.c, common/parse.c
	2. parse_date should be using strptime(3) and mktime(3) instead
	   of home-grown inaccurate versions. common/parse.c
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	1. remove the weekday from the lease format.
	2. use strptime/strftime/mktime.
