Here is my code:

Date myDate = startTime.Date();       //e.g. myDate =2016-03-01  
Date weekStartDate = myDate.toStartofWeek(); //weekStartDate results 2016-28-02

When myDate equals 2016-03-01 the value of weekStartDate is 2016-28-02. According to my understanding it should be 2016-29-02.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

    In other words, if one is getting the wrong value, they should also check their Locale settings.
