RL=no load, Vpin7=8.52V   Vpin8=9.69V
RL=20 Ohm,  Vpin5=8.13    Vpin8=9.30V
RL=10 Ohm,  Vpin5=7.87    Vpin8=9.04V

  Vpin8 going from 9.69V to 9.04V  means that the input voltage is dropping by a lot.

The Collector of Q1 should be close to 18V?

RL=no load, Q1 Vc = 17.33V
RL=20 Ohm, Q1 Vc = 15.22V
RL=10 Ohm, Q1 Vc = 14.04V

I also tried with an SMPS (12V):
RL=no load, Vout=11.4V
RL=20 Ohm, Vout=10.3V
RL=10 Ohm, Vout=9.9V

EDIT: I tried with a second SMPS (a PC power supply). The results are the same.

RL=10 Ohm, Q1 Vc = 14.04V, means that 4.5V is being applied to B-E of Q2 which means that it's damaged. This is assuming that the supply is holding up at 18.5V.
But why was the 9V rail dropping before? Are you using an LM317?

Yes, I 'm using an LM317. (I just took one more look to make sure  :D)
I 'll replace it to be sure, maybe it 's damaged.
panoss:
Well, I replaced:
-the S8550 with the BC557
-the LM317 with another LM317

Results are the same.
