The looping will happen if you do anything that changes the task
description and then do M-x planner-appt-update, so you don't have to
wait until tomorrow!

Anyway, it looks like the bug I was thinking about has been fixed in
the latest revision.

But if your dentist example above fails, there might be something else
amiss. If it does work, does it fail if you do M-x
planner-edit-task-description and add an explicit link to the
description with an anchor, something like this:

#C _ @09:30 Go to dentist [[foo#bar]] ([[SomeLink]])

and then do M-x planner-appt-uddate?

If so, then it has probably been fixed by Michael Olson in the latest
revision.
