Hi,

this works for simple files but breaks silently for my org files. I've
narrowed it down to two seemingly unrelated parts and attached two
examples below.

- good1.org contains an entry with two tables. When I visit the file,
  Emacs asks me to evaluate the local variable. In bad1.org the first
  table contains another section with the entry "Rechnungsbeitrag". When
  I visit the file, Emacs does not ask me and I can verify that the
  local variable is not evaluated by attaching something to the task.

- In bad2.org the offending part is a long LOGBOOK drawer. Removing any
  two lines from the drawer makes the example work. In good2.org I've
  removed the first two lines.

If it weren't for those bugs, this would fit my needs exactly!

Cheers,
Viktor
