(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files t) prints byte code

Hi all,

(Likely since) After upgrading emacs from 27.1 to 28.2 and org mode from 
9.4.0 to 9.5.2 (i.e., from Debian stable to testing), 
org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files prints strange output when called 
(via cron) as follows:
emacsclient --eval "(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files t)"

When I run this on the command line it prints (if I understand it 
correctly) Emacs byte code: #[514 "\302!\303!\304=\205B.
Running it non-asynchronously just prints nil.

Otherwise everything works but I would like to get rid of that output. 
Where/how could I start debugging this problem?

Best regards,
Robert

Just add an extra --eval "t" or something along that lines.

Dear Ihor,

Do you mean

emacsclient --eval "(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files t)" --eval "t"

?

This still results in "#[514 "\302!\303!\304=\205B" being printed on STDOUT.

Is there some way to figure out what's happening and why? (I'd really 
like to understand.)


Another issue is that the above call works in a shell but not when 
called by cron (both result in the strange output but with cron no file 
is created). I am not sure if that's relevant. I'd like to fix both 
issues but first things first. ;-)


Best regards,
Robert

No idea then.

You can try debugging to figure out at which place in the code the
output is triggered.

#[...] structure looks like a byte-compiled function object.

It would help if you create a reproducer, so that we can test things on
our side.
