The getWeekdays method in DateFormatSymbols returns a String[]
that contains too many Strings. Specifically, it returns an array
of 8 Strings, with strDays[0] being an empty String.

getWeekdays should return 7 strings ("Sunday", "Monday", etc) and
should be 0-based such that strDays[0] is "Sunday" instead of an
empty string.

getMonths in DateFormatSymbols returns a String[] that contains
too many items. Specifically, it returns 13 Strings where the 
String at index 12 is empty.
