DateFormatting of 24-March-97 is incorrect in German, it returns martedl it should be martedì. WORKS Correctly on WinNT.

Steps to reproduce
compile and run the attached code:

import java.util.TimeZone;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Locale;

public class tz {
    public static void main( String argv[] ) {
        // 24-Mar-97 23:00:00 GMT
        Date date = new Date(859244400000L);
        DateFormat formatter = DateFormat.getDateFormat( DateFormat.FULL, Locale.ITALY );
        formatter.setTimeZone( TimeZone.getTimeZone( "ECT" ) );
        
        String tempString = formatter.format( date );
        if( ! tempString.equals( "martedì 25 marzo 1997" ) ) {
            System.out.println( "Incorrect date format: " +
                                tempString );
        }
        else {
            System.out.println( "Okey Dokey" );
        }

    }
}
