Scheduling bug? [was: problem with remember template]

[Tyler Smith <tyler.smith@eku.edu>]

Sorry, I've just realized that the problem described in my previous
email (below) is not a remember template issue at all. I get the same
(or similar) issue when using the schedule function in org.

To reproduce:
run 'emacs -Q'
open a file in org mode ("test.org")
Enter a headline (*test)
Try to schedule it ("C-c C-s")

At this point I get the message "Don't know how to make a let-bound
variable an alias"

I get this problem in the latest Emacs on my system:

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0) of
2010-04-30 on eku238261
org-version 6.35i

But not in the previous version on my system:

GNU Emacs 23.1.90.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.6) of
2010-02-16 on eku238261 
org-version 6.33x

So I think this is a bug that crept into org-mode or emacs, and not a
problem in my config files.

I also confirmed that the problem reported below doesn't occur in Emacs
23.1.90.2

Thanks,

Tyler
