This patch broke org-read-date. It will no longer parse date strings
such as "Aug 15" correctly, instead inserting the current day.
Steps to reproduce
1. Start with a headline:
,----
| * A Headline
`----
2. Type C-c C-s (org-schedule)
3. Enter a future date (e.g., Aug 20).
4. Note the resulting headline:
,----
| * A Headline
| SCHEDULED: <2012-04-25 Wed>
`----
If I comment out the following line:
(org-eval-in-calendar '(setq cursor-type nil))
org-read-date works correctly.
Best, Matt
