Dear Markus and Denek

after increasing the memory the code compiles without error, the many
warnings in the log help me to find the faults with references and
crossreferences. I am well aware of lost braces, but if the error is
stochastic and dependent on the number of included chapters it was not
braces lacking what caused the error.

with respect to other faults in the code I can wait at the moment.
