I have never seen this happen unless the person has either redefined 
the section title commands or has explicitly inserted some extra space 
between the section title and the text that follows. When you say that 
you have been unable to reproduce the behavior, do you mean that the 
same source typeset on your installation does not do it? It would be 
really helpful to see the source that is doing this -- can you provide 
it?
