Message12290

It seems there are a few datetime.strptime() / strftime() issues, but this seems like a new variation.

On JDK 9+, Windows 10, the short name for months has changed even for English locales to include a fullstop. This causes incompatibility with CPython and earlier versions of Jython, and breaks regtests, mainly those inherited from CPython itself.
