newly updated w3m.el problem

[Tomasz Kosinski <mickle@escape.com>]

Last week I updated my w3m by:

        apt-get install w3m w3m-ssl w3m-el

And since this update, w3m no longer works with emacs. At the command
M-x w3m, I get:
        Loading w3m...
        Loading w3m...done
        Wrong type argument: listp, "http://www.internic.net";

At M-x browse-url-at-point, I get:
        Loading thingatpt...
        Loading thingatpt...done
        Reading http://www.debian.org...
        Wrong type argument: stringp, col

w3m works fine (except text entered in fields in some forms - searching
in Debian mail archives, for example) in console mode or in an xterm. 

System info:

GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Sun Aug 20 2000 on lilac
Package: w3m Version: 0.2.1-16
Package: w3m-ssl Version: 0.2.1-16
Package: w3m-el Version: 1.2.1-1

Any advice or help will be very much appreciated. Thanks,

Tomasz
