timeclock in & out

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!

translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I'd like to use timeclock features like described in emacs/calendar
info stuff, so I made :

M-x timeclock-in <RET> work <RET>
[wait some minutes...]
M-x timeclock-out <RET> finished <RET>

The backtrace gives :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)
  timeclock-log("o" "finished")
  timeclock-out(nil)
* call-interactively(timeclock-out)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

A good work arround is to have an existing .timelog file (so 'touch
.timelog'), but it seams there is a real bug.
