Description:
------------
strtotime is incorrectly evaluating second Tuesday for any month that starts on Tuesday.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday Feburary 2011'));
echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday March 2011'));
// Correct Date
echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday April 2011'));


?>

Expected result:
----------------
02-08-2011
03-08-2011
04-12-2011

Actual result:
--------------
02-15-2011
03-15-2011
04-12-2011

This works in PHP 5.3 with the correct format, ie:

<?php
echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday of February 2011'))."\n";
echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday of March 2011'))."\n";
echo date('m-d-Y', strtotime('second tuesday of April 2011'))."\n";
?>

Outputs:

02-08-2011
03-08-2011
04-12-2011

Closing, since this works in 5.3 and 5.2 is end of lifed.
