[BUG] Org-persist

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

Hi,

It seems my org-persist cache has somehow been corrupted so that opening
any Org-mode file suddenly causes this odd and severe error:

File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument listp
£”6C?’^c)

Retyping the above since the characters may turn out wrong:
(wrong-type-argument listp \277\243\254\224\3236\214C?\343\222^c)

This essentially disables Org-mode completely. Only the first few lines
are fontified, or more often none, and org functions like folding don't
work. The same if I set the buffer to text-mode and then back to
org-mode.

What is a recommended quick fix?

A few extra notes:

Weirdly, after closing all buffers except for *scratch*, I keep getting
the same error when I try to exit Emacs, so I cannot exit.

I can open Org files with emacs -Q.

I don't know how the corruption happened. I have had some irregular
shutdowns, etc., but this appears to have happened in the middle of an
otherwise normal Emacs session.

Yours,
Christian
