Description Jos.Backus 2000-01-06 09:20:00 UTC 
	calendar(1) runs /usr/bin/cpp to preprocess its data files. Apparently
	some recent change in /usr/bin/cpp broke parsing of these files, in
	particular single quotes yield syntax errors (it seems cpp wants to
	interpret them as C-type strings).

Fix: Add -traditional to the cpp commandline:

hal:/usr/src/usr.bin/calendar# diff -u io.c.orig io.c
How-To-Repeat: 
hal:~% calendar |& head
