It should have something to do with your address book:

We found the answer -- I thought I would post it here just to
have it on the record!
When my coworker imported Outlook's AB, he matched the birthdate
field. However, during the import, if Outlook's birthdate field
was empty, the import converted it to a string of zero's, which
is not a valid date string. Deleting all the address book entries
and re-importing (without the birthdate field) fixed the problem.
