Description:	Asterisk has been crashing every 5 minutes for the last 3 hours. I have a script that starts it up every 5 minutes, except it crashes when started. Effectively, Asterisk will no longer run. Backtrace when starting: [2022-03-22 15:26:24] WARNING[29884]: sched.c:497 sched_settime: Bug likely: Negative time interval -55584000 (interpreted as 4239383296 ms) requested!

If I add noload = res_calendar to modules.conf, Asterisk starts, but now production is impaired and operating significantly degraded.

So for some reason it was constantly crashing yesterday, but today, doesn't appear to be an issue. I suspect on the basis of the issue, for some reason it was reading in times in the past and that was causing an internal assertion to fail here: https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/res/res_calendar.c#L1002 I recompiled with DO_CRASH recently so this issue has likely happened before, but not caused a crash until now. By: Marian Piater (maikyp) 2022-05-30 08:54:24.730-0500 Probably similar crash (I don't have coredump, because server was restarted). I am waiting for another crash and coredump. Compiled Asterisk 16.24.0. Checked Asterisk changelog and seems there are no changes in calendar resource in newer releases.
