>Description:
When calling the current version of cpp(1), calendar(1) needs to specify the
"-traditional" flag. Otherwise, any lines in the calendar input file that
contain single quotes will result in annoying warnings:
:1: unterminated character constant
:7: unterminated character constant
:10: unterminated character constant
:15: unterminated character constant
:16: unterminated character constant
:21: unterminated character constant
:26: unterminated character constant
:49: unterminated character constant
:60: unterminated character constant
>How-To-Repeat:
[505]entropy@nutmeg:~ $ cd /tmp
[506]entropy@nutmeg:/tmp $ cat >foo <<EOF
> 1/1 test
> 1/2 it's a test
> EOF
[507]entropy@nutmeg:/tmp $ calendar -f foo
:2: unterminated character constant
>Fix:
