User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

If a repeating event has an exception date, the event doesn't show up on the
exception date (as expected), but it does show up on every date between the
previous event date and the exeption date.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an event
2. Make it recur weekly or monthly
3. Add an exception date

Actual Results:  
The dates between the event previous to the exception date and the exception
date all show the event.  Example: An event that occurs every Monday will appear
on Tuesday through Sunday preceeding an exception date.  

Expected Results:  
The event only show up on the proper days of the week/month.

Attachment: A patch that fixes this bug.

I didn't fully understand all the code so this may not be the correct way to
fix the bug but it seems to fix it for me.

The patch causes another problem, selecting/then unselecting a calendar causes
an long (infinite?) loop.
