DateFormat produces the wrong day e.g in the example output below
produced jan 8th instead of jan 9th
also DateFormat.SHORT==1/8/98 is wrong for Australian Locale as
the date should be d/m/y not m/d/y

 Just an update for you I noticed that the bug is time specific
e.g. If the time is 19:41:08 the bug does not show up but if
I change the time back to 16:28:13 the bug reappears. I have not
extensively tested this, just thought it may help with diagnosis.

The following code should show the problem

OS WIN95


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


public class DateFormatTest
{
    public DateFormatTest(){}
    
   public static void main(String argv[])
   {
    
      Date d = new Date();
      
      System.out.println("\r\nTesting DateFormat");
      System.out.println("Locale.getDefault()=="+Locale.getDefault());
      System.out.println("Date=="+d);
      System.out.println("Date.toLocaleString()=="+d.toLocaleString());
      System.out.println("DateFormat=="+DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(d));
      System.out.println("DateFormat.SHORT=="+DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(d));
      System.out.println("DateFormat.MEDIUM=="+DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM).format(d));
      System.out.println("DateFormat.LONG=="+DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG).format(d));
      System.out.println("DateFormat.FULL=="+DateFormat.getDateInstance(DateFormat.LONG).format(d));
      System.out.println("");

   }
}
