Toltec connector and exceptions to recurring events

[Bernhard Reiter]

As far as I know writing of recurrent events has not been 100% implemented
in Toltec. There are many cornercases.
We cannot completley exclude that we still have flaws in the data format,
but they will only matter in rare cases.
