 '''Issue'''
 The code
 {{{
 function remove_calendar_widget() {
     unregister_widget('WP_Widget_Calendar');
 }

 add_action( 'widgets_init', 'remove_calendar_widget' );
 }}}

 unregisters the calendar widget on a 3.7.1 install but does not unregister
 it on a 3.8 install on the same server

 '''Steps'''
 Add the above code to the functions.php file and open the widget
 management page in the dashboard.

 '''Expected results'''
 The calendar widget will not be available in the widgets list.

 '''What I see instead'''
 The calendar widget is still there in the list.
