Description

Steps to reproduce:
1.Select timezone "(GMT) Casablanca" in your Windows time settings [Other timezones with DST date might also have the problem]
2. Create/Open an application with a DateField
3. Try to select 1st of June. [Or any other daylight saving change date depending on your time zone]

Actual Results:
31st May is selected instead of 1st June. June 2009 starts on Sunday.

Expected Results:
Select and display 1st of June correctly. June 2009 must start on Monday.

Workaround (if any):
None

Note: I searched the bug database and found this same bug reported many times before. Everytime the ticket is closed but no clear solution is provided. Since you (Adobe folks) already know about this problem I thought it would be solved in the latest SDK version so I updates to the latest stable SDK 3.5 but the bug is still there. My application is running in production @ www.ajiel.com you can create an account and see the problem for yourself. I am desperate to find a solution. Please help.

Also, I've traced the problem down to the Date class. So when I have a Date object on May first and I do date.month++ it goes to May 31st instead of June first.
