Hi Carsten,

Absolutely. I've put the results below, along with a sample diary file
I ran the test on and my configuration. I'm copying a backtrace for
the first time, so feel free to tell me if I've failed to include
something.

First, before I include the results, I believe I've identified the
culprit: it's the syntax for generic monthly events in the diary,
e.g.,

*/3 Monthly meeting

When I remove this line from the sample diary file, agenda column view
works fine. 

(By the way, this was the impetus I needed to switch all my
appointments to org-mode, since it's so nice to be able to add notes
to events in org-mode files.)

Best,
Matt
