Make sure nothing is in ~/.emacs.d/todo

1. start emacs
2. todo-show and answer its queries and save the buffer
3. go to ~/.emacs.d/todo and delete files there
4. M-x todo-show

you will get a couple of errors such as:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  expand-file-name(nil)
  find-file-noselect(nil)
  todo-read-category("Enter a new category name: " add nil)
