If I run calendar as myself without the -a option

I have to kill it quickly or the mail system will
clog again.
Take it out of root's crontab and put it in your own.
That way, you won't have to worry about the bug.
And check that each user knows how to set-up their
own crontab, is allowed, and does if they want
the service.
IIRC, root's crontab contained this entry back in the System V
days--maybe even before. First saw it in the mid-80's. Don't believe
SunOS prior-to-Solaris versions had it, though.
