Summary: strftime broken on sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (surprise!)

Initial Comment:
As is already documented, sparc-sun-solaris2.7, like
(what seems to be) many other systems has a broken
strftime.

Luckily, it's only a little broken.

I'm posting this as a datapoint already aware that 8.5
will handle this a different way.

The returns from the library seem to all be valid
except for "%u", the day of week which is returning
values in the range of 1-7, not 0-6 as it should.

On my system I'm handling it by hacking but I thought
others might want to know about this issue.
