cal -3 format issue

[Wade Hampton]

I just noticed that cal -3 for this year messes up September.   I
tested this on both FC4, FC5, and CentOS 5.   The last full week of
September is 3 bytes too far to the left so that the 24th is under the
Sunday column.   Interesting, very minor bug....

FC4 and FC5 are not supported anymore.

For CentOS you should report the bug as RHEL 5.

Tried it on an FC6 box -- it has the problem.  Sorry for the FC4/5
posting, but I only have one or two FC6 boxes and rest are older or
CentOS....

Supported, or not, it works fine on my FC6 box, but fails on my FC5.

According to the changelog on my FC6 machine:

If you are *that* worried about it, get the .SRPM for util-linux and
rebuild it on your FC5 machine.

I see it on FC4 & FC6, but not on FC7, RHEL3 or RHEL4.
