Yeah, think it's this line in data.cpp:
    if(tm.tm_mday==last_tm.tm_mday && tm.tm_mon==last_tm.tm_mon)
        thisevent+=24L*60L*60L;     /* already ran today, so add 24hrs */

A naive solution would be to just ignore the event (it already ran today), but
that doesn't help us for an event that runs *every* day, say at midnight (so
it's going to run technically tomorrow, but that might be coming up soon). I'll
add this to the todo list.
