Stefan,

I did, and the test returns the same wrong results:

Could i run a C-program that formatted the date with locale nl and conclude
  - the problem is in my ICU installation if the result of the program is
wrong?
 -  the problem is in my GNUstep installation if the result of the program
is OK?

Kind regards
