With LC_TIME=C, ncal -w gives strange week numbers for 2010:

Why is the week starting at January 3rd numbered 53, not 1?
With option -M, the results looks better:
$ ncal -w 2010 -M
2010

With LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8, the result is fine, probably because that
locale implies -M. LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8 ncal -w 2010 -S gives the strange
result, again.
The same behaviour occurs for year 2016, which also starts on a Friday.
