I'm confused. What does this have to do with planner-cyclic?

What versions of planner, muse, and emacs are you using? What OS?

Have you read the parts of the manual about planner-appt and planner-cyclic?

As a first step, since it sounds like you are not using planner-cyclic at all,
I would suggest removing all variables and references to it from your .emacs
and trying again.
