Attached file sample of the process (deleted) —
TB 3.0b3 (and the 3.0b4 nightly) suddenly started hanging on my OS X 10.5.8 MacPro. The cpu goes to 100% and it is non responsive.

On a Mac, how do I start it up with no plugins?

I attach a sample and the non-responsive dump.

TB2.0 works.

TB finally appeared, but the cpu is still at 100%. And it is unresponsive.
How do I recover? I need my calendar.
Do you have gloda enabled ?

What is gloda?
TB has come back to life, but every time I try to do something, the busy signal appears and the cpu shoots up for several (5) seconds.

Gloda is https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Using_Gloda

Wayne, the above description looks like the pizza you saw no ?
I had it disabled. Do I want it on or off?

Off is good.
I was hoping that Snow Leopard would fix this. But no cigar.
But what does cure it is uninstalling Lightning.
I rally need my calendar. I have exported my calendar. How do I clean my installation of the old calendar stuff? Then I could reinstall lightning, import my calendar, and hopefully it will work. I changed the component to Calendar for this report.
Component: General → Lightning Only
Product: Thunderbird → Calendar
QA Contact: general → lightning
Target Milestone: --- → 1.0
Version: 3.0 → Lightning 0.9
I downloaded the nightly 1.0 pre for Calendar and imported my .ics file. Calendar goes to 100% cpu usage whenever I do anything.
Do you see any calendar related error messages in Tools > Error Console during the import? 

Is your iCalendar file valid? Does it pass validation <http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/>? Can you attach a sample iCalendar file that can be used to reproduce the issue?

And please don't forget: Lightning 1.0pre test builds are created for testing purposes only. They contain known bugs. Don't use them with important data.
Version: Lightning 0.9 → Trunk
1. I tried the validator. It sent the request up, and it returned with an unfilled-out form. I'm not sure if this means good or bad.
2. I think I am stuck with the 1,0 pre because I had to switch to TB 3.0 in order to get rid of the certificate errors from my mail provider. Thet required the Lightning 1.0 pre, which converted my Calendar to a new format, so I do not seem to be able to go back. Or is there a conversion tool?
3. I am uploading my calendar so you can try it

Dp please delete my calendar when you have used it
And the calender imported into Appled iCal and works just fine there
Looks like this is one occurrence of the fact that current builds are broken in regard to repeating events (Bug 494140). For example editing them duplicates reminders.

Your file contains only 4 VTODO elements, only 403 VEVENT elements, but a total of 209.589 VALARM elements!

It seems that Sunbird 0.9 is able to handle the file. It took some time but finally the file was imported successfully. After exporting back to iCalendar format the file had only 403 VALARM elements left.

Please test if reverting to the stable 0.9 release is a usable workaround.
0.9 won't work in TB 3.0.
I guess I will have to switch back to iCalendar.

Yes, Lightning 0.9 requires a stable Thunderbird 2 release. 
But you can still use Sunbird 0.9, it has no dependency on Thunderbird.

I bevlieve the alarm issues were fixed during the big alarms fixes that went into 1.0b1. I'm closing this bug, please reopen if you experience these issues again. When first starting 1.0b1, you may want to wait for a while, the upgrade process should clear out the redundant alarms, but that might take a while.
