It appears that you can get different results depending on how you start  
the timer and whether there are prior entries there. Basically, you need  
to start on a blank line with no prior timing entries. If you start your  
timer, either with C-c C-x 0 or with C-c C-x - with prior timer entries,  
you are likely to get the results I described before (double hyphens), or  
error messages ("not a timer list").

So to people who know the right incantation, I suppose it looks ok. But if  
you take even a slight detour you may get some strange results.

Maybe there should be a bit more warning in the manual. But now that I've  
worked out the land-mines, I'm sure its going to be very useful.

Thanks!
