Hi Org-Mode,

Today I receved the "stringp, nil" error when attempting to generate my
agenda buffer.

By a process of gradually eliminating all the text in my org buffer and
retesting, I eventually traced the error to a habit TODO item that I'd
forgotten to give a repeating scheduled date. It was scheduled and had a
small history, but the ".+1d" was missing. I added this and the agenda
started working again.

Obviously I don't want to do this every time I forget to add recurrence to a
habit. Since I know what I'm looking for now I can search for a scheduled
tag for today's date that's missing recurrence.

However, other people may run into this error, be unable to reverse it due
to a more complicated setup or whatever, and essentially have a broken
org-mode. It would be great if the error were more verbose.

I read in the mailing lists that a newer version of org-mode gives an
informative error. I am using 7.01h, which is the current stable version.
Were they referring to a development version?

Thanks,
JB
