simply /ta unclaim 20 or any # and you get an error in console

What is your Bukkit version number? :
latest dev build of bukkit 
craftbukkit-1.4.2-R0.3-20121112.060235

NOTE: This issue has been around for quite some time now, before minecraft 
1.2.5 and I have seen this on several multiple servers since then with this 
command never working. Am I the first to submit this bug? Does no one submit 
bugs thinking they will be submitted by others?

I traced this issue down to being possibly in towny/tasks/TownClaim.java in the 
repo
selection 
=AreaSelectionUtil.selectWorldCoordArea(null,newWorldCoord(player.getWorld().get
Name(),Coord.parseCoord(player)), split);

error is in towny/utils/AreaSelectionUtil.java

the other possibility is in 
towny/tasks/TownClaim.java
line 88 ish

I ran '/town unclaim 20' in a town I was a member of and got no error.
I ran the same command stood in the wilderness and got no error.
