I tried that, no luck. It gets stuck at some line and fails. I think
there is some problem with one of the packages I am using for
equations. Putting back "-interactionmode nonstop" makes the pdflatex
process continue to the end and produce the pdf.

Its my private desktop and laptop, and I can be quite paranoid about
security usually so that part is somewhat covered. :) Maybe I'll
consider it later.

If you are otherwise worried about whether I'm picking up the correct
version of pdflatex, I see the following version information in the
"*Org PDF LaTeX output*" buffer:

> This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 (TeX Live 2010)

So its as expected.

Thank you for your thoughts about my issue, appreciate it.
