Paul, that's an interesting perspective that hadn't crossed my mind at all. Thanks! After some testing (it took me a while to get back to it - sorry for the delay), it certainly looks like the bug is somewhere other than org-export-icalendar, but I'm not sure that debian site-lisp is to blame in this case (although I may very well be missing something). I originally tried this on GNU Emacs 22.1.50.2, which I had gotten from CVS and built myself. I don't think I use any of Ubuntu's emacs setup at all. I also tried it on emacs 23.0.60.1 (also obtained from CVS) and starting it from the build directory with -Q, using whatever version of org-mode is distributed with that version: I get the error there as well. So it seems to me that the bug is somewhere fairly deep in emacs itself (btw, I sent a bug report off to the emacs maintainers - we'll see what they say). I also tried on an ancient RHEL4.1(?) system with the stock emacs 21 version that was packaged with it: I had to do some work to get org-mode installed there, but I could not then reproduce the error. Thanks again for opening my eyes (and thanks to Adam as well), Nick _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
