   | However, there's one bug left, I think:
   | # ./calendar -d 1005
   | Sunday 1800 something
   | 
   | The 5th was a Monday. Perhaps the Sunday is caught by the lookahead
   | for the weekend on Fridays (5)?
 
 Try using -l 0 and see if that makes a difference, the lookahead stuff
 is wacko, the weekend variation is just plain insane (IMO).  But that's
 what it is supposed to do, so ...
 
   | While testing it, I found that -f doesn't work as expected
 
 I'll see if I can see anything weird in that, but if you haven't heard from
 me by this time tomorrow, it will be (at least) next week sometime.
 
 Are you attempting (or expecting) to have the cpp nonsense work?
 
 I'll also take a look at Jeremey's tests from his 2008 message, and see how
 much of that is still broken.   Jeremey, if you want to send me either the
 calendar.c with the patches you're using in it, or the patches you received,
 I'll see if I can reconcile it all.   Then someone can commit it, perhaps...
