[Savannah-hackers] newsticker.el bug?

[stewart]

hi, 

i am using emacs on win xp, and i used to be able to use the
newsticker without problems.  i have not used it for a while and when
i tried to start it this morning i received several errors.



all i have in my .emacs file is:

;;newsticker stuff
(require 'newsticker)
(setq newsticker-url-list-defaults '(("Ananova - News" 
"http://bootleg-rss.g-blog.net/ananova_com.php?topic=news"; nil 3600))
      newsticker-url-list '(("Ananova - Sport" 
"http://bootleg-rss.g-blog.net/ananova_com.php?topic=sport"; nil 3600)
                            ("BBC - World News" 
"http://news.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/world/rss091.xml"; nil 3600))
      newsticker-scroll-smoothly nil
      newsticker-display-interval 4)

and i try and run the newsticker by M-x newsticker-start
when i do this my message buffer looks like this:

Newsticker started!
Fontifying *Messages*... (regexps.............)
error in process sentinel: byte-code: Wrong type argument: consp, nil
error in process sentinel: Wrong type argument: consp, nil

error in process sentinel: Wrong type argument: consp, nil
error in process sentinel: byte-code: Wrong type argument: consp, nil
error in process sentinel: Wrong type argument: consp, nil

i do not get the *newticker* buffer i used to do but i do get 3
buffers (one for each site in my url list):

    *wget-newsticker-Ananova - News* 5892 Fundamental  
    *wget-newsticker-Ananova - Sport* 5883 Fundamental  
    *wget-newsticker-BBC - World News* 7542 Fundamental  



have you any idea what this might be??  i have tried the latest stable
release of newsticker.el (1.5) and the cvs version and both give the
same problem / error messages.

cheers, 
stewart
