Re: [O] Multiple agenda buffers at address@hidden:7max/org-mode.git

[Max Mikhanosha]

I had committed a change that activates local variables, only if
org-agenda-sticky is turned on, hopefully making it completely safe to
test for people..

Now if something is screwed up, and you are in a hurry, you can turn
sticky agenda off and get on with normal org-mode usage, and then send
bug report later.
