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.
