:-) Thanks. I know RegEx perfectly good. Irritating entries could be located by... find . -name "*\.org*"|xargs egrep '<19[0-6]|<20[3-9]' ...since I am using *lots* of Orgmode files. My point was more or less usability-related: what use is the message «Specified time is not representable» when the user (anybody, not just RegEx experts like us) gets no clue, where the problem is? So I was curious, if there *is* some method I do not know (yet). If the answer is «no, there is no way of telling you the actual time stamp that causes the message», my question is answered. Bad for Emacs/Orgmode usability but fine with me so far. So is this really the case? >>> You may also try >>> M-x debug-on-entry RET ding RET >>> Look at the backtrace and see whether you can get some clues. >> >> Sorry, no clue. >> >>> Works best if your orgmode is not compiled >> >> When I have compiled Orgmode, should I delete all *.elc files? > > May be the debug-on-entry is the wrong strategy for the problem at > hand.
