Schedule Calculation Too Deep

Problem

getting "calculation too deep" message when changing an Estimate.
Estimate recalculates verrrry slowly.

VERSIONS 2.2 and 2.3 of Goldenseal estimating software

Diagnosis

This was caused by a couple of bugs in the schedule calculation. It will definitely happen when the schedule has a date that is exactly midnight (that makes an infinite loop til it 'times out' with the too deep message). Apparently something else would also make it do the same thing. We never found it, but just rewrote everything to be more solid.

Solution

Problems reduced in 2.31 and fixed totally in 2.4.

No real workaround. Either ignore messages and wait for recalc, or get newer version.
