I was wrong in was I wrote and mixed the two.
The old version is actually week 7;19971201;4 first_weekday 7. It means
the first day displayed on the calendar is a sunday.
The new version is week 7;19971130;4 first_week_day 1. It mean the first
day displayed on the calendar is a sunday.
Both version should display exactly the same value.
