I made a new Mauve test (attached) that works better with my patch
(after I fixed one error in my patch and fixed an additional Date bug),
but it still fails on three tests. One is due to a bug in
GregorianCalendar and I haven't investigated the other two.

Is the attached test OK to commit? Do I need to modify any other Mauve
files to add the test?
