Re: Lockup in org-get-tags-at (4.32)

[Carsten Dominik <dominik@science.uva.nl>]

Hi Todd,

thanks for the report:

I can only reproduce the error if I have a level 2 entry in the first 
line of the archive file.  I am guessing:

- You had this problem only with 4.32, not before?

Normally, when Org-mode creates the archive file, it makes sure that 
there are a level-one entry, so I guess you made this file in some 
other way?

4.32 calls org-get-tags-at during archiving, that is a mistake, will be 
fixed in 4.33.

Let me know if 4.33 does not fix the problem.  In that case, can you 
make example files of your Org-mode file and the corresponding archive 
file to help me reproducing the problem?

- Carsten
