I was trying to import a CSV file to populate our school's calendar, but I ran into this error:

* file_get_contents() failed, try fsockopen
* Not a valid VCALENDAR data file: /tmp/phpJ8bsEg
* 0 iCal events processed

As it turns out, the DESCRIPTION field can only be at most 53-characters long. Anything more, and the CSV Import errors out with the error above.
