The bug was created by an Address Book file, mentioning a person's birthday
on 2° January 2005, with an alarm that was due to start the week before.
For some strange reasonsas of 1st of January, the calendar could not cope
anymore with this birthday and maybe the automatic alarm that had been
generated in 2004 (but that I've never seen)....
