No prob at all!

There's no error in the script :)
My ics file had a.o. my elder sister's birthday, and unfortunately her's
as well as mine is (way) before the start of the epoch, so mktime
returns a negative timestamp at line 63 and strftime at line 143 doesn't
grok it.
Anyway, I don't need these records as I have them in a separate
anniversaries.org file that uses diary-style sexp entries for the
birthdays.
So Eric, rest assured, the script works fine for events occurring since
the start of the epoch. It was quite a help to me.
Thanks for your effort and for sharing it,
Guido
