Hi List,
this is probably not a bug but rather a problem with my configuration
(since nobody else complained about it so far).
When calling the agenda with 'C-a a' I get the following error
,----------------------------------------------------------------
| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
| re-search-forward(nil nil t)...
| org-agenda-get-deadlines()...
| org-agenda-get-day-entries("/home...")
| org-agenda-list(nil) ...
| org-agenda(nil)
| call-interactively(org-agenda nil nil)
`----------------------------------------------------------------
and an empty agenda buffer. Debugging reveals that in the following
function 'regexp' is nil because both 'org-deadline-time-hour-regexp'
and 'org-deadline-time-regexp'are nil, causing the error later on in the
re-search-forward call:
,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| (defun org-agenda-get-deadlines (&optional with-hour)
| "Return the deadline information for agenda display.
| When WITH-HOUR is non-nil, only return deadlines with an hour
| specification like [h]h:mm."
| (let* ([...]
| (regexp (if with-hour
| org-deadline-time-hour-regexp
| org-deadline-time-regexp)) ; => nil
| [...] )
| (goto-char (point-min))
| (while (re-search-forward regexp nil t) [...]) ; => error
| ...))
`-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder why these variables, defined in org.el, are nil? I don't seem
to set them anywhere, and they should be defined once org.el is loaded,
shouldn't they?

cheers,
Thorsten

Not when Org is loaded, but when a buffer is in Org mode.
I can't reproduce this, maybe you can bissect your config
and see what's wrong there?

Ok, thanks, I did that and as I thought the problem was in my init file:
,--------------------------------------------------------------
| (setq org-todo-keywords
| (quote ((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "|" "DONE(d!/!)")
| (sequence ; <= undefined
| (concat
| "WAITING(w@/!)" "HOLD(h@/!)"
| "|" "CANCELLED(c@/!)" "PHONE")))))
`--------------------------------------------------------------
I had that in my old init-file, but have no idea where that `sequence'
function was defined - somehow it worked.

Now I had a look at 'org-todo-keywords' and found the real culprit:
,------------------------------------------------------------------------
| org-todo-keywords is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is
| ((sequence "TODO(t)" "NEXT(n)" "|" "DONE(d!/!)")
| (sequence "WAITING(w@/!)" "HOLD(h@/!)" "|" "CANCELLED(c@/!)" "PHONE"))
|
| Original value was
| ((sequence "TODO" "DONE"))
|
|
| Documentation:
| List of TODO entry keyword sequences and their interpretation.
| This is a list of sequences.
|
| Each sequence starts with a symbol, either `sequence' or `type',
`------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was ok or even required to start each sequence of keyword with symbol
'sequence, but using function `concat' in the sequence definition caused
the error.
