>Description:
cron date string
* * */5 * *
does not work if today is ...15th, 20th or 25th...
but works at ...16th, 21th and 26th... days of month

all because of
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/cron.c:199:     dom = tm->tm_mday -FIRST_DOM;
and
/usr/src/usr.sbin/cron/cron/cron.h:134:#define      FIRST_DOM       1

this is not expected behavior and should be corrected, imho
>How-To-Repeat:
add to /etc/crontab string like
*      *       */N     *       *       root    /bin/date >> /root/date
where N is divider of the current day of month
