In light of Trent's 10-14 posting:
I would like to clarify & confirm the intent of your earlier post about the
  discovered new bug related to the Entourage SP2 update and Birthdays.
It might be helpful if we noted more specificity.

Were you reporting that Entourage mishandles recurring Birthday listings:
   a)  when entered in Entourage's AddressBook's  Birthday field for a specific Contact
   b)  when entered as a Recurring Calendar event (not linked to a Contact)
   c)  or for both
   d)  or some other combination

Thanks for helping us better understand the identified concern.
