Everything works fine if I don't restart the service.
I'm no expert but I'm guessing something is a bit of in the "init" function for the calendar server.
I glanced at the change sets over at Calendar & Contacts server but I could find any recent changes.

I'm having the same issue with my other server... but the exception is that that server is running
an OD and users inside the OD are not affected. Users in the stand alone directory still have
the exact same issue.
