System V Release 3.2 MRD says the same thing as SVR4:

            An unusual calendar is printed for September 1752.  That is
            the month 11 days were skipped to make up for lack of leap
            year adjustments.  To see this calendar, type: "cal 9 1752"

The "BUGS" section remains the same as it was in 7th Edition.

In the CSRG SCCS files cal(1) was "updated" after the 4.3BSD release
with this comment:

src/usr.bin/cal/SCCS/s.cal.1
	D 6.3 89/09/28 14:20:22 bostic 5 4      00042/00023/00009
	MRs:
	COMMENTS:
	new version from Kim Letkeman (mitel!spock!kim@uunet.UU.NET)

The code was also updated at the same time:

src/usr.bin/cal/SCCS/s.cal.c
	D 4.5 89/09/28 14:20:24 bostic 5 4      00222/00159/00043
	MRs:
	COMMENTS:
	new version from Kim Letkeman (mitel!spock!kim@uunet.UU.NET)

This is of course a complete rewrite to give UCB the copyright.
