I have to rephrase my original posting. The pdfs
are all fine. Only at the moment of inclusion
(with pdflatex) do some characters disappear. I
can produce exaples where characters become visible
or not depending on the page where you open the pdf.

I know this sounds WEIRD, but I tried to view the
pdflatex produced pdf on two different machines and
had the same result. See
http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~dongen/talk.pdf

Next look at pages 8 and 28.

Depending on how I open the document I can't see one
letter (an L or a D) on the left at the bottom of one
of these pages before the #-sign. However, if I close
the document with <CTRL-W> and open it with <CTRL-LEFT>
again I CAN see it but then the letter on the other page
dissapears. I can produce similar examples as well and
they only seem to happen in math mode.

Any ideas?
