Attachments: the bogus std.ics file

Description berti 2005-03-17 15:27:44 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

If I try to launch korganizer, I get the following error :

berti@venus:~/code/kynaptic-kde/src$ korganizer
ERROR: Communication problem with korganizer, it probably crashed.

After some research, it appears that if I remove my ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics file, korganizer is working.

I've succeed to reduc my std.ics file to two entries. If these entries are there, korganizer crash. If only one of the two is removed (any of the two), korganizer is working.

In attachment, I put the std.ics file.
