Re: error with _ in header?

[Stefan Wachter <stefan.wachter@gmx.de>]

Hi Patrick,

first I want to say that I already spent several hours on that problem 
and was happy to reduce the file size to 5215 Bytes. Of course I could 
have done further but I thought that the file is now handy enough for 
debugging. (I do not know how TeX code is debugged and what tools are 
available for that task.)

Yes, I removed all temporary files. But the strange behaviour remains: 
when all images except that of the used external figure are removed then 
the error disappears.
