[Orgmode] Bug: Another possible error for in-line math parsing

Carsten et al,

Possible error when escaping dollar sign in inline-math. When using
the following org source:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supposing $C_H=\$10$ and $C_L=\$20$.
...
$.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following LaTeX is produced upon publication:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supposing \$C$_H$=\$10\$ and \$C$_L$=\$20\$
...
\$.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whereas the following LaTeX is expected:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Supposing $C_H=\$10$ and $C_L=\$20\$
...
$.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comparing the two different lines of source, I note that in the first
case the four inline math dollars are escaped when they should not be,
and two extra inline math dollars are inserted. In the second case,
all dollars are escaped correctly excepting the first inline math
dollar.

I'm obviously trying to use dollars as units in my math calculations.

Thanks for any help,

Jeff
