Re: bug logging the TODO tracking state with brackets in the header

[pinmacs]

Hi list,

I discovered that this issue is not reproduceable (noticiable) from an
emacs vanilla version (without custom configuration)

after digging in my config file that endend up with a happy orgmode file
with thanks to babel and tangle [1] I found the problem. These are the
lines that produce the mentioned bug (I tested just that lines alone in
the custom configuration and still is reproduceable):

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; If you would like a TODO entry to automatically change to DONE when
;; all children are done, you can use the following setup:
;; source :
http://orgmode.org/manual/Breaking-down-tasks.html#Breaking-down-tasks
(defun org-summary-todo (n-done n-not-done)
  "Switch entry to DONE when all subentries are done, to TODO otherwise."
  (let (org-log-done org-log-states)   ; turn off logging
    (org-todo (if (= n-not-done 0) "DONE" "TODO"))))
(add-hook 'org-after-todo-statistics-hook 'org-summary-todo)
#+END_SRC

fetching the link from official orgmode documentation looks like my code
is up to date. But this code does the mentioned bug-error.

I'm happy to comment that lines, to loose that mini-feature and gain the
two others (numbering TODOs and tracking the state changes)

Any ideas why it fails with that lines?

Cheers,
pinmacs
