I don't think so. The trace you showed before feels like filesystem
corruption to me, or perhaps some io error (I'm not really a fan
of SD cards for more than temporary storage, especially combined
with USB).

Some file that calendar is accessing maybe triggering the crash,
but there's about 0 chance that it's a bug in calendar, or directly
caused by calendar other than it happens to be something that
calendar is accessing.

See daily(8), it is run as part of overnight maintenance.

$ man -k Xr=calendar
cal(1) - displays a calendar
leave(1) - print reminders when it is time to leave
hier(7) - layout of filesystems
daily, monthly, weekly(8) - periodic system maintenance
