Subject: bibtex fails with : Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 5000
Message-ID: <20020311103636.A29198@dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr>

Hello, ...
I am encountering problems with bibtex, who fails to be able to parse my
document, and segfaults with the following message :
Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's buffer size 5000
make: *** [article.bbl] Segmentation fault
make: *** Deleting file `article.bbl'
I am using the acm style provided by tetex-extra for bibliography, but using
the default style doesn't help me out on this.
I have no doubts that this is due to the big size of the document i am working
with, and more particularly the .aux file, at least that was my impression
from a quick look at the strace output (i extensively use mfpic for graphics).
I can currently work around this problem by providing a copy of the .tex
sourcefile containing only the citations, which provide me with the .bbl and
the .blg files, which i then copy over to the working directory to produce the
correct final document, but there should be a better solution for this, i
think.
I did not find anykind of help pointer on this in the docs provided by the
tetex-doc package, nor did searching the net help me much on this, apart from:
http://ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/tex/CTAN/digests/uktex/94/uktex.35?N=A
which hints at broken acm.bst file, but since the problem persists even
without the acm style, i don't know if the problem is there. Also adding a
newline at the end of acm.bst don't seem to solve this problem, which dating
back to 98 may have been solved since.
Also i did look into the /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, but did not find anything which
seems to affect the bibtex buffer size.

Changes:
tetex-bin (3.0-9) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Upload new upstream release to unstable. The changelog of the
versions in experimental is available in
changelog.Debian.experimental.gz.
.
Upstream changes:
.
* Lots of bugs are closed by this upload - all bugs listed below have
already been tagged fixed-upstream, and there should be an explanation
in the bug logs at http://bugs.debian.org/<bugnumber>. In some cases
the explanation is only a link to the LaTeX Project bug database, or
it is in the comments of the mail sent to the control server, but it's
always there.
.
- bugs of xdvi: (closes: #107637, #111983, #168080, #175560, #277499,
#222398, #243384, #269778, #186209)
.
- bugs of dvips: (closes: #277499, #102120, #123763, #53927, #249466,
#287309, #266718)
- miscellaneous bugs: (closes: #83146, #107258, #137823, #175794,
#176526, #197259, #209347, #219630, #225687, #232420, #238627,
#264394, #273596, #273597, #182215, #255101, #285395, #201935)
.
* Files are now arranged according to the TeX Directory Structure v. 1.1
(changes mainly involve font maps and encoding files, and the script
directory).
* texconfig / updmap / fmtutil can now be used to create user-specific
configuration. For system-wide configuration, use texconfig-sys,
updmap-sys or fmtutil-sys. The debian-specific scripts update-updmap,
update-fmtutil and update-language have been adapted accordingly.
* Other important upstream changes are described shortly in
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/NEWS.gz.
* The libkpathsea library has a new soname. Developers, please do not
yet upload packages linked against libkpathsea4, in order to prevent
the library transition from being mixed with ongoing transitions
(closes: #334005)
.
Debian-specific changes:
.
* For details concerning users, see
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/README.Debian.gz and
/usr/share/doc/tetex-bin/NEWS.Debian.gz, and - especially for
developers - the Debian TeX Policy draft in the tex-common package.
* The packaging has been revised and partly rewritten:
- We now work with a pristine upstream tarball as orig.tar.gz
- Most files needed for creation of the package, as well as the
maintainer scripts, are now generated using ePerl. The configuration
is done, as much as possible, through the files variables,
common.variables, and common.functions
- To synchronise this and the tetex-base package, common.functions and
common.variables from the tex-common package tree are used.
- We also build-depend on tex-common and use a single-file patch
Makefile snippet it provides.
* We provide infrastructure to allow for easy backporting of teTeX 3.0
to sarge.
* Dropped build-dependency on xlibs-dev - all necessary libraries are
pulled in by libxaw8-dev or libxaw7-dev (closes: #258256, #241090).
* Reverted error handling in the postinst script. A configured tetex-bin
package now guarantees that the formats have been built.
* We changed the system to behave less strict and accept font map and
enc locations according to the old TeX Directory structure. This will
hopefully be dropped later in the release cycle of etch.
* Some code to support upgrades from pre-woody has been dropped. Most
notably, the TEXMFOLDLOCAL tree is no longer supported
* Conflict with jadetex <= 3.13-3, since it does not yet cooperate
(closes: #299537, #298884)
* Add a patch that allows xdvi to read from file descriptors, instead of
filenames (closes: #300109)
* Add a hunk to patch-texdoctk to allow again to view documentation.
* Explain -s option to texdoc in the manpage, and make it really work
(closes: #301156, #301115)
* Add Conflicts/Replaces ctie (no point adding provides, as no other
package appears to depend on it)
* Apply patch by Matthias Klose to allow building with xorg (closes:
#310434).
* Re-libtoolize with newer libtool to allow building for GNU/KFreeBSD,
minimal patch thanks to Aurelien Jarno <aurel32@debian.org> (closes:
#320141).
* Now uses ${misc:Depends} to generate debconf dependency (closes:
#332114)
* The following bugs only existed in experimental and were marked as
fixed-in-experimental by uploads to experimental. Some of them might
not have been closed manually, therefore this upload to unstable
finally closes: #304294, #320812, #309185, #299877, #299942, #299809,
#299645, #298257, #298315, #302052, #327129, #332397, #332301,
#325551, #332840, #333732, #330278, #323827, #324670, #321241,
#320781, #299936, #322181, #299644, #321066.
