Message-ID: <87vduibgvh.fsf@gollum.intra.norang.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <BE5FA52F-DD85-4BBE-BEE1-C0DDD81EF156@uva.nl> (Carsten Dominik's message of "Thu\, 20 Nov 2008 08\:26\:50 +0100")

This happened again this morning.  I'm not (to my knowledge) actually
using the org-clock-persistence stuff but it is active.  Again I have an
'org' buffer which is a dired entry at the end of my clock history list.

I'm going to try a few things

  - restart emacs and see if I can reproduce what causes this

  - turn off the cock persistence settings and see if this problem goes
    away (don't expect a report on that for at least a week)
