OK - Seb probably got it right then: if you have too many (too many = 5)
nested itemize environments, latex complains as above.

I meant the error output as you showed above.

OK.

C-c C-e p invokes the old exporter. To use the new exporter,
see for example this thread:

I would strip down the contents of the files to just the headers: it's the
structure that matters here, not the details. Then I would ask the exporter
to export to latex and compare the tex files by opening them in two side-by-side
windows in emacs: the differences should be telling.

The differences *are* telling: In one case, you have a subsection at
level 2, in the other an item at level (almost) infinity :-)

BTW, I think the old exporter mishandles my simple example (and slightly
modified variants) in various ways.  I would recommend that you try the
new exporter at this point.
