Export to iCal raises (error "Selecting deleted buffer")

Export to iCal raises (error "Selecting deleted buffer")

[Paul R]

iCal export crashes when :
 - from dirary, C-x C-w file.ics
 - from org buffer C-c C-e I or C-c C-e c

It works when exporting with C-c C-e i.

Emacs 22.1, org version 6.02 on Ubuntu.

When crashing, the stack trace is :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
  byte-code("(...)" [b sexp sexp-buffer org-agenda-skip 0 forward-sexp 1 "\n" princ org-diary-to-ical-string] 3)

I've no idea if this is related, but that error has plagued me in
other circumstances, and I'm 95% certain the cause in my case is the
uniquify buffer name code.  Are you using uniquify?

Thanks. I have no custom setting on uniquify-buffer-name-style.
This variable is unbound in my instance.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this bug.  So you need to figure out what in your  
setup is causing this problem, or come up with an example where I can  
reproduce the problem.

Thanks.

For reference : it was caused by something in the debian site-lisp. I
did not narrow more, I simply got rid of debian site-lisp, for various
reasons, and this bug disappeared. Thanks for your interest Carsten.
