Thanks for this Rasmus.

I did try using 'titletoc' which didn't give such nice output as
'minitoc', so I set about finding out what the minitoc problem was.

Under TeX-live 2016 my document compiled perfectly with all 24 of its
minitocs, but it failed under TeX-live 2017. So I've sent a bug report
to the newsgroup that it only compiles 'doc.maf', 'doc.mtc' and
'doc.mtc0' and nothing else.

So hopefully it will soon be fixed.

Thanks
Sharon.
