wrong-type-argument listp \.\.\.

[Sven Bretfeld]

Hi all

Since some weeks I have this strange error message while using quite
normal functions like newsticker-treeview and some others. I use the
same .emacs with three different machines, all of them running Emacs 23
under Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. The errors occur only on one machine.

Has anybody an idea what could be wrong or how I can find out?

Below I attach the debug message of newsticker-treeview. Other functions
have the same error "wrong-type-argument listp \.\.\.".

Thanks for help

Sven
