System name:		tabetha
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2B (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	run calendar

What's wrong:
	I received the error message
	egrep: regular expression too long

What should have happened:
	it should have worked.  calendar (with the same calendar files
that I used yesterday) worked fine yesterday.

	This has happened before (about 1.5 months ago).  (1) What's
causing this problem and (2) how can it be prevented from occurring
again (it's *REALLY* annoying).

	Since calendar worked fine after the update yesterday, I doubt
this problem is caused by anything in the release.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	calendar man page, my bug report from 1.5 months ago
