 Hi,

 I have discovered two errors in the Date/Time libraries distributed with
 GHC.

 When running the attached testcase:

 *Main> timebug
 Loading package old-locale-1.0.0.0 ... linking ... done.
 Loading package time-1.1.2.0 ... linking ... done.
 "Sun, d Apr 2008 00:16:45 UTC"

 There are two problems here:

 * Returns "d" for day of month, certainly not right.
 * Returns "UTC" instead of "UT", incorrect per RFC 822 -
 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html section 5.1

 Iain
