Hi Nicolas, thanks for trying to replicate this on Linux. What happens for you if it doesn't crash? Does the latex export just work and produce a pdf with a set of properly nested lists? Would you be willing to sent me .tex your latex export produces? It seems unlikely, but maybe org use a different/additional latex library on Linux than it does in Windows. Or alternatively, TexLive installs different/more libraries on Windows. Anyway, it would be nice to figure it out. I googled quickly for the hint you mentioned but couldn't find it.
