(final) SUMMARY: fatal XIO error with CDE calendar manager

From: Giorgio Pastore <pastore_at_ts.infn.it>

This time was the DEC SW support which hit the nail!

After deleting the file /var/spool/calendar/userfoo.callog and rebooting the
system the problem for the user userfoo magically disappeared!

Notice that a just renaming without rebooting or rebooting without renaming
were not enough !
