Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

When copying the example provided in org-mode info node 12.8.6 to an org
buffer, and then seeking to compile it into a pdf with the beamer
exporter (C-c C-e l O), the following error message is printed into the
minibuffer:

apply: Wrong type argument: listp, #("Carsten Dominik" 0 15 (:parent (#0)))

This is a commonly reported error message. I guess it should go into the
FAQ. It means you have a mixed installation. You need to re-install Org
properly.
