Aloha all,
I'm still running into this error. I've found that I don't have to stop
emacs and restart. All I have to do is copy a bit of text and then run
capture. This seems to work every time. Presumably, the text copy
causes the pasteboard to contain valid data. I still don't know how the
pasteboard gets invalid data in the first place.
All the best,
Tom
