 When I try "cal 10 1582" on my Linux the result is

    October 1582
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
    1  2  3  4  5  6
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27
28 29 30 31

  So if (for example) 31 Oct 1582 was Monday - is there a bug with this
program (cal), and maybe with any other program like it ?
