 (disclaimer: I haven't used gnats or contributed code before, so if I've
 gone about this all wrong, please accept my apologies.)
 
 I also encountered the calendar(1) problem where it doesn't understand
 recurring events such as 'the first Thursday of every month.' I fetched
 the OpenBSD calendar source and applied some minor hacks to get it to
 compile happily on FreeBSD.
 
 So, now I've got a calendar(1) that seems to understand recurring events
 correctly.  I was also able to reproduce the 'Jan 33' problem from the
 original PR and verified that it is fixed in the new calendar.  I've also
 created a patch and verified that it works against the
 /usr/src/usr.bin/calendar directory in my 4.5-STABLE source tree.
 
 However, this patch is rather large (at 60k, larger than the total size of
 the calendar sources).  This is partly because I favored OpenBSD changes
 in a lot of unnecessary instances, since Sheldon Hearn suggested that it
 would be best to minimize differences with the OpenBSD version.  Would
 someone please tell me the appropriate way to submit the patch?  Is it
 acceptable to post text attachments of that size here?
 
 Thanks,
 Michael Dickerson <mikey@singingtree.com>
