Description

#### To report a bug...

* What command(s) did you run?
```task next```

* What did you expect to happen?
I'd be presented with my list of to-do items from the next report.

* What actually happened?
Received the following output:
```The recurrence value '' is not valid.```
No report output.

I tried a few additional things to see if I could get my list of tasks back ...
* I restored from my backup from a working day a couple days ago, ran task and received the same error.
* I figured out, however, if I changed my system clock back to yesterday's date, however, that ```task next``` just fine.
* I tried setting the date forward to tomorrow, to see if time will just sort of fix this error on it's own, and unfortunately it's still generating the same error/behavior.
* I have yet to be able to determine which recurring task in my data is causing this to happen, especially since the value is presented as, apparently, a null string.

* Paste the output of the ```task diag``` command.
```
