In the head revision, if the org file has headlines that start with a
timestamp, the command to create a timeline of the file (C-a L)
crashes.

    some text


mapcar: Args out of range: #("  " 0 2 (org-category "mt3" tags nil
org-highest-priority 65 org-lowest-priority 69 time-of-day 2224 ...)),
0, 37

Confirmed. The culprit seems to be some not-so-robust code in
org-agenda-highlight-todo. Here's the code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      ...
      (let ((pl (text-property-any 0 (length x) 'org-heading t x)))
	  (setq re (get-text-property 0 'org-todo-regexp x))
	  (when (and re
		     (equal (string-match (concat "\\(\\.*\\)" re "\\( +\\)")
					  x (or pl 0)) pl))
	    (add-text-properties
	     (or (match-end 1) (match-end 0)) (match-end 0)
	     (list 'face (org-get-todo-face (match-string 2 x)))
	     x)
	    (when (match-end 1)
	      (setq x (concat (substring x 0 (match-end 1))
			      (format org-agenda-todo-keyword-format
				      (match-string 2 x))
			      (org-add-props " " (text-properties-at 0 x))
			      (substring x (match-end 3)))))))
      ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The problem is that pl is nil in this case and so is the
value of

      (string-match (concat "\\(\\.*\\)" re "\\( +\\)") x (or pl 0))

but they compare equal, so the body of the

    (when (and re ...)
      <body>
     )

is evaluated with disastrous results: the string-match has failed so it
has not set any matches for (match-end ...) to find. In this case,
(match-end 1) evaluated to 36 (that's in a 3-character string :-).

AFAICT, the whole body should be skipped in the case when pl is nil:

	(let ((pl ...))
	  (when pl
            (setq re (...)
	    (when (and re (...))
               ...
               ...))))

But it's not clear to me whether this is the only bug.
