Re: [O] org-mode 3.5.1 <at> emacs 24: invalid-functon 41

[Martin Steffen]

Hi Nicolas, and all.

I recently answered to a prior suggestion concerning the cause of a
problem (see below), basically I could not confirm the cause of the
error. In the meantime, I had the same problem (on different computer),
again with the newest org-mode with the same symptoms (org-mode
basically broken, with constant ``invalid function 41'' message).


I applied the suggested patch, and it made the symptoms go away. So it
seems that it cause of the error was located.

Thanks, Martin
