Method NCrontabViewer.MainForm.Diff does not work with DateTime-Strings of specific locales

[Google Code Exporter]

The current release implementation (version 0.2) of 
NCrontabViewer.MainForm.Diff does not work with DateTime-Strings of specific 
locales. Example: try to use the application on a computer with German locale. 
Reason: the length of the short weekday name is just 2 (not 3).

Possible workaround:

Change line 138 of MainForm.cs to
var timeString = occurance.ToString("ddd dd, MMM yyyy HH:mm", 
CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Form.cs#138

I tested in a German culture and I get the error shown below. Is this what you 
are seeing and mean by it not working in a culture where weekday names are not 
3 charaters wide?

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range. Must be 
non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
