I've already fixed this (in mkbuild.c); unfortunately, after pl 7 release.
That is, we can allow 1.14.7 to display "Sun 5 Mar" though 5th March,
Sunday 1998 does not exist :) From next release it will return 1 for Jan,
2 for Feb etc.

Day of week is most problematic, because Sunday may be considered as 1st
day of a week or as a last day of a week. So it is uncertain whether to
return 0, 1 or 7. But according to the Bible :-) we can use 7 for Sunday
:)
