Massive duplicates of holidays in Calendar and address book withExchange

Just set up a new Exchange client with Entourage 2004, and am having a
problem I've seen with one of our other clients as well.

The Progress window is CONTINOUSLY updating the calendar, duplicating some
unknown set of holidays to infinity, it seems. This client has been running
for a few days, and had over 20,000 holiday events in the calendar. He also
had over 600 contacts in his address book, although he couldn't personally
have entered more than 10 or 20 of them.

Where are these events and contacts coming from, and how do we stop them?
Our other clients are not having this problem, although their configurations
appear to be identical.

I've had that here as well. It was always with recurring events. I
maanged to select only the duplicates playing around with the views and
I deleted them all to properly recreate the recurring event. I don't
know what went wrong there but I haven't seen this back since then on
our machines.

The thing I can't figure out, is where are these calendar events and
contacts coming from? This user has not used the calendar at all, but by the
time Entourage finished counting, he had over 50,000 events in the calendar.
It seems to me that there is a serious bug in the link between Entourage and
Exchange, but why does it only affect two out of twelve machines?

Has anyone heard any sort of official word from Microsoft about this?
