Makes sense.  I have not noticed my error because
normally I know the start year.  My error stemmed
from using the menu to insert an anniversary while
the cursor in the calendar buffer is on the
correct day and month of the current year (the
current year because the correct year was not
known, a common occurrence in regard to age).

Would it be wrong to allow future birth days in
diary-anniversary, so past and future are
symmetric?

Thank you.

   Where is the cursor (what date)?  The 0th anniversary will never appear.

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



emacs -Q
M-: (setq diary-file "~/dd")

the content of dd is:

%%(diary-anniversary 11 14 2008) Y's Birthday 
%%(diary-anniversary 1 14 2008) X's Birthday 

Start the calendar.  Check the diary for the two
dates.  The first anniversary fails to show.  The
second works.

Thanks,  Eythan
