FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Observed on both JDK 6 and 7

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When pure Gregorian Calendar is set to date January 1, 1, reading the date on the calendar returns January 3, 1. Is this descrepancy expected?

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u29

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Locale;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class getDateRepro {

public static void main(String[] args) {

        GregorianCalendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getDefault(), Locale.US);

        GregorianCalendar pureGregorainCal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getDefault(), Locale.US);
        pureGregorainCal.setGregorianChange(new java.util.Date(Long.MIN_VALUE));
        
        GregorianCalendar juliancal = new GregorianCalendar(TimeZone.getDefault(), Locale.US);
        juliancal.setGregorianChange(new java.util.Date(Long.MAX_VALUE));
        
        LinkedList<Calendar> cals = new LinkedList<Calendar>();
        cals.add(cal);
        cals.add(pureGregorainCal);
        cals.add(juliancal);
        
     for(Calendar cal1 : cals)
     {
     cal1.set(1, Calendar.JANUARY, 1 , 0, 0, 0);
     cal1.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
            java.sql.Date dt = new java.sql.Date(cal1.getTimeInMillis());
            System.out.println(cal1.getTime() + " " + dt.toString());
     }
}
}
