New Comment:
I ended up writing a compensator for the problem, because it appears
that the PHP Dev crew has better things to do then clean up the code
base...
I kept it simple and grabbed what day was the the first of the month
and then found where Thursday would be in comparison and knew the third
thursday was just 3 times whatever the date of the first thursday.

Description:
------------
When asking strtotime for the 3rd thursday in a month and the first day
of that month is thursday, it ignores the first thursday. It then begins
to count after that first Thursday and returns the fourth Thursday.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$day = strtotime("3 Thursday Nov 2007");
echo date("m-d-Y", $day);
Expected result:
----------------
11-15-2007
Actual result:
--------------
11-22-2007
