>Description:
Until recently the following line in the .calendar file
delivered the expected result:
sat+3	Every third saturday of each month

This worked in 8.1-STABLE installed on 2 august 2010.
Now, since we upgraded to 8.2-STABLE on march 25, this does not work
anymore, but generates the following message:
% calendar
Unprocessed:
-------
date: |Sat+3|
flags: 10a - dayofweek modifierindex variable
modifierindex: |+3|
dayofweek: |Sat| (6)
Ignored: Sat+3  Every third saturday of each month

I modified the line to:
sat+3 *	Every third saturday of each month

Which does not give me the above message, but also doesn't
notify me on the third saturday of the week of what I wanted to be
notified of.

>How-To-Repeat:
See description above, tried some different variaties of
"sat+3", satthird, */satthird, etc.

We upgraded calendar to the latest version today (March 22), but this
didn't solve the issue.

>Fix:
None


Kind regards,
