*What* doesn't work?

Since you don't tell us, I tried exporting the following to latex and
html:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo
The person wanted to say *BSD.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and it works fine in both cases (albeit in Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1122-g1d7c75)).
