I get a similar error with `(cron-string->calendar-event "* * * * *")`
in a `shepherd-service`:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ sudo guix system reconfigure config.scm
...
guix system: warning: exception caught while executing 'eval' on service 'root':
Throw to key `%exception' with args `("#<&message message: \"calendar-event: hours: 24: value out of range (0-23)\">")'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


but '* 0-23 * * *' works.
