Several calls to java.util.Calendar.set(int field, int value) may lead to
a wrong date, as shows the example below:

public class TestCalendar {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        try {
            test();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            System.in.read();
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
    public static void test(){
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out.println("cal.getTime() = " + cal.getTime());
        cal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR,4);
        System.out.println("cal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR,4);");

        //(Uncommenting the next line cancels the bug:)
        //System.out.println("cal.getTime() = " + cal.getTime());

        cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,2);
        System.out.println("cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,2);");
        System.out.println("cal.getTime() = " + cal.getTime());
    }
}

It yields the result:

cal.getTime() = Tue Sep 26 18:14:08 CEST 2000
cal.set(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR,4);
cal.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK,2);
cal.getTime() = Mon Sep 25 18:14:08 CEST 2000

which is obviously not in week number 4.
