I run multiple instances of emacs simultaneously, one of them specifically for email, i.e. gnus, and that emacs instance was running a previous version of org... the tests were done with the latest version (-252-). sorry for the confusion. > - anyway, this sounds similar to my issues in thread > http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/98428 (resolved, but > it wasn't really clear, /why/ the patch worked...) I went through that thread and I'm not entirely sure if or how it relates to my issue. However, I tried going back to June (well before the patch mentioned) and that version shows the same behaviour I am seeing now but worse (more lines changing from one export to the next) so maybe it is related. > Does your > issue also happen, when you take only the beginning of your file up > to the first paragraph of the first heading (not marked > as :noexport:)?

Actually, my settings are at the end of the whole 4000+ line file so I am not sure what you are suggesting I try. If I delete the whole settings subtree, the exports all result in the same LaTeX. However, that is of no use to me, obviously. I guess I can try to add one line at a time to see when the export breaks. I may try that tomorrow. I guess I would like some insight into how the latex_header lines are parsed by org, maybe in org-element? There is something strange going on because every or most evaluations of the export dispatcher to LaTeX lead to slightly different results.
