 I confess to not understanding how the calendar program code is
 supposed to work.  I may have confused it by using the same user id
 for two different password file entries.  I noticed, for example, that
 lines from one user's calendar file were sometimes mailed to the other
 user.
 
 I have since given up on running "calendar -a" via the /etc/periodic
 mechanism and now just run calendar for myself out of my own crontab.
 So far this seems to work.
