Equinox Error in 'calendar'

I believe the date/day of this year's autumnal equinox (northern
hemisphere) is incorrect for the eastern time zone in 'calendar'.

This is displayed:

    Friday, September 22, 2006:  Autumnal Equinox 12:03am (EDT)

but it really should be:

    Saturday, September 23, 2006:  Autumnal Equinox 12:03am (EDT)


We don't want to perform our "pagan rituals" on the wrong day!
