Daemons on XEmacs 21.5 don't fly

Daemons on XEmacs 21.5 don't fly

[Norbert Koch]

Hi!

- XEmacs 21.5  (beta29) "garbanzo" 22c4e67a2e69
- No Gnus v0.14

I get the following error when I try to add daemons to my gnus setup:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument natnump t)
  signal(wrong-type-argument (natnump t))
  start-itimer("run-with-timer" gnus-demon-run-callback t 300 nil t gnus-demon-scan-news)
  apply(start-itimer "run-with-timer" gnus-demon-run-callback t 300 nil t gnus-demon-scan-news)
  run-with-timer(t 300 gnus-demon-run-callback gnus-demon-scan-news)
  byte-code("..." [gnus-demon-timestep G16214 handler func idle time nil 2 t run-with-timer gnus-demon-run-callback run-with-idle-timer add-to-list gnus-demon-timers timer gnus-demon-handlers] 7)
  gnus-demon-init()
  gnus-demon-add-handler(gnus-demon-scan-news 5 nil)


Have I missed something?

Thanks,
norbert.

I'm not quite sure why t as the time parameter would work on Emacs,
either, but I may have fixed this now.

(defun run-with-timer (secs repeat function &rest args)
  [...]
  (apply 'run-at-time secs repeat function args))

  (run-at-time TIME REPEAT FUNCTION &rest ARGS)

  Perform an action at time TIME.
  Repeat the action every REPEAT seconds, if REPEAT is non-nil.
  TIME should be one of: [...] t (with non-nil
  REPEAT) meaning the next integral multiple of REPEAT. [...]
