date: next sunday is this sunday?

[Martin Bernreuther]

Hello,

if I invoke date, e.g.

~> date
So 23. Sep 20:33:39 CEST 2007

and especially using a relative date
with "next" and a weekday, like

~> date --date="next sunday"
So 23. Sep 00:00:00 CEST 2007

I don't get the next sunday, but this sunday  (today)
on a sunday, whereas it works for every other day.
This was done with
~> date --version
date (GNU coreutils) 6.4

and also with version 5.2.1. For the latter
~> date --date="tomorrow next sunday"
seems to give me the expected result,
but not for 6.4, where this is handled like
"tomorrow" alone.

If this is not a bug, how can I get the *next* sunday?

Thanks,
        Martin
