ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
With Java 1.8.0_292 and Java 11.0.11 on Linux this all works fine.
With Java 17 it fails.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In Java 8 and 11 formatting and parsing a date using the Locale.UK used the shortname "Sep" for September.
With Java 17 this has changed to "Sept".
Only September has been changed to 4 letters, all other months remain at the expected 3 letters.

This change causes fatal parsing errors when trying to parse historical logging.

Changing to a different Locale like Locale.US or Locale.ENGLISH is not an option as these do not follow the ISO standard about weekdays (i.e. the Monday/Sunday thing) which are fields I'm looking for in my code.
I have not been able to find a locale that is "ENGLISH" and conforms to the ISO standards. Both Locale.US and Locale.ENGLISH do it the US way.

Background: The tests in my project failed when trying to build it with Java 17

REGRESSION : Last worked in version 11.0.14

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create a file September.java with the content below and then using Java 17 simply do:  javac September.java && java September.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
The hack that seems to work in some specific cases is to catch the exception and using a regular expression replace "sep" with "sept" and then try again.


FREQUENCY : always
