I think the title of this bug is misleading. cal's -m option has become ncal's -M, that fine. But ncal's -S option compared to -M prints the dates in the same place but shifts the days of the week labels; as mrq1 wrote "that CANT be correct".

To show the problem, just do "ncal -M; ncal -S" and study the output. I suggest the title be changed to "ncal incorrect if asked for weeks starting Sunday with -S". And the priority should be higher than normal. I very nearly made a real muck-up here because I trusted ncal's output without a second thought.

The above is 10.10. I think it may have been fixed in 11.04; could someone test please. But given the potential impact of using a wrong calendar perhaps the fix needs back-porting?
