[Gpe-list] Alarms make my calendar fail!

[Joseph J. McCarthy]

If you could put together a *simple* calendar db (maybe with a single 
event?) that causes the crash it becomes much easier to debug.

I have not seen anything like this on my ipaq or my desktop for quite a 
long time so it is not possible for me to look at it simply from your 
description.
