    _______________________________________________________


The Calendar class appears to ignore calls to set which change the day of the
week and/or the month to be used.  The remaining eight failing
java.text.SimpleDateFormat parse test cases (0 to 4 and 17 to 20) illustrate
this.



The first tries to set Dec 1978, but the calendar only changes the year to
1978.  The same is true of the next two, where the calendar ignores the
August month setting.



The fourth is a more strange case, where the day of the week, the month and
the year are set (in that order).  This should use a pattern containing all
these values, with a default week of the month of 1.  The expected result is
the first Saturday in November, 2004.  But, as in all the above, only the
year is actually set.



The last four all test with the same values (it is the parsing process that
differs).  They try to set the first Saturday in June.  They fail as above. 
Solving just this would fix four test cases.



A stripped-down version is provided below.
