i'm editing files over FTP using standard debian sarge emacs21 on the
console and i keep getting the system bell beeping and a message appearing
saying

Wrong type argument: integerp, nil

messages on google groups all relate to email reading which i am not using
emacs for.

any pointers?

thanks,

kev
