Bug Description
In /usr/share/
A much more common convention in the United States is to start the week on Sunday, corresponding to a setting of "7;19971130;5"
The change from 01 Dec to 30 Nov accomplishes the weekday change. I believe, and the trailing 5 says that the week number calculation is based on the first week that contains a Thursday. (If Sunday is day 1, then Thursday is day 5.) But I could be wrong about that bit.
