on 7 juanary 2004 when i ask date to print the week number of the year 7
days ago, normaly the last day of the previous year, 'date' answers 01 so
date -d "7 days ago" '+%V'
and
date -d "7 days ago" '+%V'
give the same answer!!!

example:
sebest@carbon sebest $ date
Wed Jan  7 17:04:02 CET 2004
sebest@carbon sebest $ date -d "7 days ago" '+%Y-%V'
2003-01
sebest@carbon sebest $ date -d "7 days ago" '+%Y-%U'
2003-52
sebest@carbon sebest $ date -d "6 days ago" '+%Y-%V'
2004-01
sebest@carbon sebest $
