That code was added by me. The problem was, people reported that
end-on-date recurrences ended a day too early.

As I read the rfc for vcal/ical, end-on-date recurrence that eg. list
eod=19991224 means the event must occur also on this day (correct me if
I'm way off). All the examples on daily/monthly/etc recurrences I found
had this described in the explanation.

The problem afaic determine was the eod was stored eg. to 19991224T000000,
and if the event was timed to T140000, then since 140000 !< 000000, the
event at 2pm was not scheduled on the eod at 24/12. Therefore by adding
one day internally, the event was set to end on 19991225T000000, thereby
effectively making the event recur until midnight (yes, arguably this
should maybe by 19991224T235959)

Is that with the current gnome-pim in cvs ? Because by removing the
+86400's, I get the opposite behaviour, that the event ends a day too
early.
