E51 Calendar Stopping on Fridays

I have an E51 Firmware Version 200.34.36 (24/04/08) RM-244 (226-03) and have noticed that my Calendar stops on Fridays.

This has happened for the last two weeks following updating the Firmware. Which basically means my weekday alarm fails on the Monday morning. When I go into the time settings the clock is correct but the Calendar is stuck on the previous Friday. The Friday
alarm set for 06:30 has worked.

Anyone come across the same or is it a feature of the new firmware?
