Unglueckszahl 13, I guess

Hi Philip, Uwe,John, Liviu,
Philip, as indicated this morning this is what I experienced when preparing a minimal example file. But I do not know if this is helping or rather more confusing for your investigation.

Four of the 14 child documents in my master can have underlined text parts: Chapter 01, Chapter02, Chapter03 and Chapter04, but actually only Chapter04 contained text with underbar.

I excluded 13 children but left Chapter04 included - the one I thought was the culprit with some text with underbar. To my surprise export to PDF went smoothly for both the child and the master.
I had 13 out of 14 children included - perfect, but useless for you.

So, I started re-including the child documents one by one, each time compiling in between but found no problems until I had re-included number 14= Chapter03, and the problem reoccurred.
I had now all 14 children included - sh...!

Next I removed Chapter03 as Include but inserted it as a LyX document.
Now I had 13 children included and one inserted as LyX document = 14 in total - sh... again!

In short: with more than 13 children/inserted documents the problem occurs.
In other words:
Compilation works even with Chapter04 containing underlined text as long as the total number is not more than 13.

I did some more experimenting like adding pieces of text with underbar somewhere in the master but could not get a minimal example. What I did NOT try was to add some text with an underbar in one or all of the three other Chapters01, ..02, ..03.

All this makes absolutely no sense to me - could it be that the number of children and/or inserted Lyx documents matters? Could it be that there would be no problem if I used no child documents but instead would write this whole thing in one piece? At least there is an indication that the number of child documents used in one master may be limited.

Sorry for all this turbulence . Put all the blame on me and I will accept it without grumble!

Best,
Michael Berger
