The set() method of the Calendar class does not set the "day of
the year" correctly. Example follows:

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.text.FieldPosition;

public class CalTestCase
{
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar)Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1997);
    cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
    Date d = cal.getTime(); // Should be Jan 1
    System.out.println(d);
  }
}

Instead of setting the date to January 1st, the date is set to
today's date!

This works on 1.1.2, but appears to be broken on all 1.1.4 ports.
