Is this related to bug 1014344 
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1014344&group_id=20024&atid=120024
 
)?

if so, the problem seems to be related to some properties being set  
when the molecules is obtained from different sources (though I'm not  
sure how those properties affect SMILES output)
