Wanted to submit this earlier but didn't get around to it.  I see RC3 is out
now but I haven't had a chance to download all compontents and test.

If you export your calendar in iCalendar format, and the calendar contains
recurring events, the DTSTART, DTEND, and UNTIL options under RRULE have a
date value of 00000000.  This breaks recurrence when importing it into
something like Apple's iCal, or importing back into Kronolith.

Example output:

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:00000000
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:00000000
DTSTAMP:20041208T142939Z
UID:kronolith:28f194619b2db9a82498920e1a9c66f5
SUMMARY:Floater Holiday
DESCRIPTION:Choice of 27th, 28th, 29th, or 30th.
CATEGORIES:Business
LOCATION:
TRANSP:OPAQUE
ORGANIZER;CN=Kevin M. Myer:MAILTO:kevin_myer at iu13.org
RRULE:FREQ=DAILY;INTERVAL=1;UNTIL=00000000
END:VEVENT


Will test with RC3 as soon as I can - not sure if this is handled in
Kronolith or in one of the framework classes.
