Sorry for that! While removing sensible data from the log files I
recognized, that the birthday data is already wrong in the log file. I
must have made a mistake last time I checked the birthday. So the data
is defintly somehow changed by horde. Re checking the horde interface
shows that the data inside horde's gui is correct. The data inside the
mysql database is correct too (Table: turba_objects). I am running
Address Book (turba) 3.0.11, Horde Groupware Webmail Edition 4.0.6
