Bad.  I have no idea whether this means that the 'split-window' call
was wrapped in a condition-case and if so why you get the errors then.
Does the failure happen when you are in the *scratch* buffer and do
M-x list-timers?  Can you try to edebug 'split-window' and get a
backtrace before it throws an error?

>    Yes, I type "SPC" to temporarily enable the command.

So the *Disabled Command* window pops up, you type SPC, the *Disabled
Command* window disappears and then the errors above are thrown?  Is
that what you see?

If you make an exact copy of 'list-timers', call it 'my-list-timers'
and invoke it via M-x my-list-timers: Does it throw the same errors?
