I am trying to use Org-mode and publish to create a website and forgot to specify the publishing directory for a project (in org-publish-project-alist). I thought I had encountered a severe bug in Org-publish when I was dumped into the debugger when I tried to publish my project. I suppose this is not so much a bug as it is an error that should be detected and handled more elegantly (i.e. by Org-publish, instead of the Emacs debugger) ;-).
