I have an org-file wth the folowing:
- [ ] A (setq struct (org-list-struct))
- [-] B (org-list-get-checkbox 41 struct)
- [ ] C (org-list-set-checkbox 41 struct "[X]")
- [ ] D (org-list-get-checkbox 41 struct)
- [ ] E (org-list-write-struct struct (org-list-parents-alist struct))

In A I fill the struct.
B displays "[-]"
C displays "[X]"
D displays "[X]", so the struct is correctly updated.
E gives: #<marker in no buffer>

What is going wrong here?
