Thanks.  It solves the issue of activacting the midnight-mode: now
`clean-buffer-list' is just done once and won't run the next day.  But
now, when I do M-x midnight-mode, I get the following error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
timer--activate: Invalid or uninitialized timer
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
