Bug description: Incorrect display of date when locale set to Greek
Setting the locale to Greek using setlocale("LC_TIME", "GR") gets me a
wrong display of date.
Specifically, the standard short date format in Greek is day/month/year
but when I try echo strftime("%c") I get "2/27/2003" which is a
month/day/year format.
Also, when I try echo strftime("%A, %e %B, %Y") I get "Πέμπτη,
Φεβρουάριος, 2003" which has two errors:
1. %e doesn't have any effect so the day number isn't displayed at all
2. The correct format would have been "Πέμπτη, 27 Φεβρουαρίου, 2003" which
means that when there is a day number in front of a month, the month is
displayed in genitive form (grammatically speaking).
The months in Greek are:
Ιανουάριος
Φεβρουάριος
Μάρτιος
Απρίλιος
Μάιος
Ιούνιος
Ιούλιος
Αύγουστος
Σεπτέμβριος
Οκτώβριος
Νοέμβριος
Δεκέμβριος
Their genitive form (which should be used ONLY when formatting parameters
"%e %B" are used side by side in that speficic order) is:
Ιανουαρίου
Φεβρουαρίου
Μαρτίου
Απριλίου
Μαΐου
Ιουνίου
Ιουλίου
Αυγούστου
Σεπτεμβρίου
Οκτωβρίου
Νοεμβρίου
Δεκεμβρίου
Note: Windows XP in Control Panel> Regional and Language options displays
the correct format under "Long date"
