Currently if I do 'C-c l' (org-store-link) on the top line of a dired
buffer, I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  expand-file-name(nil)
  (abbreviate-file-name (expand-file-name (dired-get-filename nil t)))

This simple patch suggests that instead of signaling an error, the
default directory is used.  (I've not removed the trailing / from the
directory name, as I prefer that on the link name to indicate directory
- but that can be deleted.) 

Thanks, Stephen

	* org.el (org-store-link): For dired buffers, use
	default-directory as link name if dired-get-filename returns
	nil.
