Bug description:  strtotime returns wrong date when requested day is same as first day of the mon

Description:
------------
When asking strtotime for the 3rd thursday in a month and the first day of
that month is thursday, it ignores the first thursday. It then begins to
count after that first Thursday and returns the fourth Thursday.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$day = strtotime("3 Thursday Nov 2007");
echo date("m-d-Y", $day);

Expected result:
----------------
11-15-2007

Actual result:
--------------
11-22-2007
