[Orgmode] Bug in iCalendar export

[Nick Dokos]

There seems to be a bug somewhere in org-export-icalendar code where the
*ical-tmp* buffer seems to get deleted prematurely, but  I can't figure out
where exactly, so I'm hoping that a) it's reproducible and b) somebody will
see what's wrong.

Versions:
---------

emacs: GNU Emacs 22.1.50.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.11) of 
2007-11-23 on gamaville.dokosmarshall.org
org: Org-mode version 6.04b

Sample org file:
----------------

I just cut and pasted from the org manual:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Birthdays and similar stuff
#+CATEGORY: Holiday
%%(org-calendar-holiday)   ; special function for holiday names
#+CATEGORY: Ann
%%(diary-anniversary 14  5 1956) Arthur Dent is %d years old
%%(diary-anniversary  2 10 1869) Mahatma Gandhi would be %d years old
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I do M-x org-export-icalendar-this-file (or C-c C-e i) and I get the 
following
backtrace:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If there is only one %%(...) expression in the file, the export seems to work, 
but
with more than one, the error gets triggered.

If more information is needed, let me know: I'd be happy to supply it.

Thanks,
Nick
