[EventCalendar] activating event calendar breaks RSS feed

I'm running the latest version of Wordpress and have tried deactivating
all other plugins.  We don't have a normal "front page", rather the
front page is just a normal Wordpress static page, and the blog posts
are housed on a different page.  I don't know if this is what is causing
the breakage or not.

Hi Chad,

The EC plug-in doesn't usually break RSS feeds. Your work-around may  
solve your immediate problem, but there is still something  
fundamentally wrong with your site.

Have you tried disabling other plug-ins? Is your WordPress up to date?

I can't examine your site to evaluate the problem, as it's password  
protected.
