[SOLVED] Recurrences with no end date, end after 5000 occurrences

[Rich Graves]

Not sure if this is a new problem in 6.0.x, or an artifact of this being a little over 2 years after we started using Zimbra.

Create an appointment 8am-12pm every M,T,W,Th,F with no end date. (Some people do this to bracket their work hours.)

Expected: Populated until the end of time.

Actual: Ends after about 2 years.

I have a very vague recollection of items being populated in batches, but I would expect January 2010 to be populated for my user who created a daily recurring item in January 2008, but her occurrences just stop next week.

The mystery, at least, is "solved."
