Hello,
I’ve discovered a bug in org-babel-execute-src-block. Calls to setf can
leak outside of the function and affect the library of babel. The
attached org file illustrates the problem. The attached patch fixes it.

* Bug
Step 1: place the foo code block below into a different file and ingest that
file into the library of babel. (It must be in a separate file for the
bug to manifest.)
#+name: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
2
#+END_SRC
Step 2: evaluate this code block. The result should be =(:results . replace)=
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results append
(assq :results (nth 2 (cdr (assq 'foo org-babel-library-of-babel))))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: (:results . replace)
: (:results . silent)
Step 3: evaluate this source block:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var bar=foo
bar
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 2
Step 4: re-evaluate the block from step 2. The result should be =(:results . silent)=

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] Fix bug in org-babel-execute-src-block
* lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-execute-src-block): copy the info
Otherwise, the setf calls in this function can reach into and change
other configuration variables, such as the library of babel.
