Let me point out that the difference between Keith's original report and
Phil's report is that Phil included the backtrace - given that, the
patch was easy. So, Keith, you know what to do next time :-)
Even better, using org-submit-bug-report would have shown us that the
"agenda file list in a file" convention was being used - as you can
imagine, that's not the setting I use, so when I tried clocking in
yesterday, things worked without a problem for me.
