Bug#343433: bibtex2html: attemps to parse comment fields and fails

[Robert Hart <enxrah@nottingham.ac.uk>]

Package: bibtex2html
Version: 1.77-1
Severity: important


Some bibtex editors such as Pybliographer put comment lines like this:

@comment{This file has been generated by Pybliographer}

into .bib files.

AFAICT bibtex2html treats this as a regular entry, and is looking for a 
comma after "@comment{This" and fails to find it.

Personally, I think bibtex2html should skip over *any* entry it can't 
understand rather than bailing out with obscure error messages.
