GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of
2008-05-03 on terranova, modified by Ubuntu
sit-for supports an obsolete call syntax with
(sit-for SECONDS &optional MILLISECONDS NODISP)
according to the doc string.
It checks:
(when (or obsolete (numberp nodisp))
(setq seconds (+ seconds (* 1e-3 nodisp)))
(setq nodisp obsolete))
the first logical 'or' should be imho 'and'. Else obsolete could be
non-nil, but nodisp could be no number (e.g. nil), and that results in
an error when multiplying.

The definition of `sit-for' has been changed by Glenn as
* subr.el (sit-for): Fix obsolete form for nil second argument.
on 2008-02-21. I'm not sure whether that has fixed the problem you see,
so could you please verify by having a look at the current CVS version?
Thank you very much, martin.

Hi Martin,
> * subr.el (sit-for): Fix obsolete form for nil second argument.
I checked the current CVS version by looking at the source of sit-for.
The obsolete handling looks correct now.
With kind regards,
Christoph
