>Description:
Calendar(1) takes as input a file "calendar" in the current directory, of the form:

01/23     Event text

meaning the date, 01 (January), day of month (23rd).

If instead one puts extraneous text in the date field, calendar core dumps, e.g.

01/23/2012 Event text for the year 2012

Previous versions of calendar(1) did not have this behavior (I don't know the exact version of the change, but definitely calendar(1) from FreeBSD 5.1 did not have this problem -- it just ignores text after the day subfield.
