Comment:

 This is a known issue on linux (not Windows though) which appears unable
 to handle the exceptions generated in the Services API. We need to move
 from using 'throw()' to a custom exceptions/error handling mechanism.

 That said, we shouldn't be hitting the error handler unless bad data is
 being submitted to the Services API, so there is a second bug here. Best
 guess is that the start times are wrong for some reason, i.e. not
 correctly in UTC.
