This looks like a problem in the interpolation implimentation,
not the rules.  If you could read over the rules and confirm that
WEG really should not wind up in group 9 by the rules
I'll fix up the program.  (I may have found a different
problem too while adding and deleting the absence on
2005-02-02, but maybe it's the same problem....)

Thanks for finding this.
