Hi, Sometimes I apparently manage to corrupt my org files by having an unfinished drawers in them. Of course this is wrong and I should investigate, but if it happens, hitting C-c C-x p leads to a useless error (Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil). I suggest to following patch for a better error:
