Thanks, Daniel,
You were right! Actually, I had thought of your suggestion before and I
had in fact renamed the system org.elc some time ago to get rid of it.
Since then, my OS was upgraded from fc5 to ubuntu, and I didn't hit upon
the possibility that the system org.elc (v4.67!) was now back in
business. I did a rename again and now I'm in v6.17.
However, there is another small issue here: Isn't there a better way to
locally install an updated version of an emacs package that comes with a
centrally managed OS? In my case, there is an enterprise-wide
installation of emacs that I cannot change - I had to ask a system
administrator to make the filename change for me.
Cheers, Bruce

Hi,
similar strange things happened to me because Emacs was loading the system
org-mode (the one installed by Emacs) instead of the org-mode I had put in my
personal directory. Therefore an old version of org-mode was being loaded, with
less features than expected.
Check your configuration; try M-x org-version and be sure that you are
running the latest org-mode (current one is 6.17c).
At your ~/.emacs you should have something like
(add-to-list 'load-path "/somewhere/org-mode/lisp") (require 'org-install)
And not (require 'org).
Just an idea.
Daniel
