 I think the es_AR glibc locale needs to be investigated as a possible
 source of this error type (assuming we are using it's data).

 Specifically, the lower case v for "viernes" is defined in the es_AR glibc
 locale (line 97).

 http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=localedata/locales/es_AR;h=c757638f7f127933431067409ab18214431a1938;hb=refs/heads/release/2.14/master#l97

   97         "<U0076><U0069><U0065><U0072><U006E><U0065><U0073>";/

 To change this to an uppercased "Viernes", a bug (and patch) will need to
 be filed on the es_AR locale against product "glibc" and component
 "localedata" at http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/

 changing the initial <U0076> 'v" to "<U0056> "V" as well as correcting all
 other day names in the LC_TIME day section similarly.
