KOrganizer crashes (ASSERT: "dt.isValid()") when exporting a vCalendar (vcs) file

[Brian Rogers]

Binary package hint: kdepim

If I create a To Do item in KOrganizer that has a due date set, but no time, then export it to vcs format (File -> Export -> vCalendar), KOrganizer crashes on Q_ASSERT( dt.isValid() ) in VCalFormat::kDateTimeToISO. The "type" of the KDateTime variable, dt, is SpecType::Invalid.

To-Do items with no due date, or with a complete due date including the time of day, are exported without a problem.

Still valid for 4.1.1?

If so please get an up-to-date backtrace and post a report at http://bugs.kde.org so we can tarck this issue in KDE and Kubuntu.
Thank you :)

I can reproduce this on an up to date Intrepid system as described in the original report.
