Bug Description

Binary package hint: bsdmainutils

In the Julian calendar (say in the US) in 1752 Easter fell on March 29th (in the Gregorian calendar that day was April 9th).

ncal 1752 -J
outputs the correct calendar, i.e. with March 29th being a Sunday.

However,
ncal 1752 -J -e
outputs
April 2 1752
which was a Thursday in that same calendar.

Other Gregorian dates of Easter e.g. 1736 are computed wrongly as well.
