Test case showing UTC bug

This bug is alive and well, or at least some version of it is, in KOrganizer
Version 4.4.  Attached file contains one event beginning beginning on Sunday,
March 14, at 0100 UTC and ending at 0500 UTC.  My time zone (America/New York
(EST)) is -5 hours away from UTC, so in local time, this should start on
Saturday, March 13 at 8 pm and end at midnight the same day.

To witness this bug, use the KDE control panel to set your time zone to
America/New York (EST), then open the attachment in KOrganizer.  Select either
"Day" view or the "Week" view.  The test event will appear on *both* Saturday,
March 13 *and* on Sunday, March 14.  Each shows the correct time span, 08:00 pm
- 12:00 am local time.  Now go to the "Month" view.  This shows correctly that
the event occurs at 08:00 pm on Saturday, March 13, but it also shows a bogus
event on Sunday, March 14, at 12:00 am.

Apparently, the filter that selects *which* events to display is not correctly
converting from UTC to local time, although the time conversion is done
correctly when the event is actually displayed.

Workaround:  Avoid UTC times in .ics files; use local times instead.
