Hi,

I've now got 8.3-BETA, as org-version confirms. I uninstalled the 
org-mode debian package and the ELPA package I tried, but org-mode was 
still installed from the Emacs debian package by the time I used git to 
get the 8.3-BETA. Hoping this won't cause any chaos?

Anyway, I found my planner.org file and got an enormous backtrace on 
startup. Might be a bit big for a mailing list so here's a paste: 
http://pastebin.com/BwMk5epP

Now when I try and edit properties with C-c C-x p , I'm being told that 
there's a malformed drawer at such and such a point and given an option 
to repair it. I'm saying 'y' to 'repair?'. It seems that the 'repair' 
being carried out is to put an empty drawer before the logbook and leave 
the original properties drawer after the logbook. Maybe I'm supposed to 
have drawers in a certain position?

After repairing, I'm getting the same message I got when finding the 
file 'Symbol's function definition is void: org-element-at-point' and it 
returns to the place where I said C-c C-x p after making the 
modification elsewhere. If I say 'n' to 'repair?', it just goes to the 
next apparently malformed drawer.

Hope I've provided the needed information.

Thanks very much,

Ed
