retitle 520920 texlive-base-bin: bibtex crashes with large bib file
found 520920 2005.dfsg.2-12
thanks

I've added the texlive-base-bin version of the other machine
where the bug occurs.

The crash can be a segmentation fault.

I suspect a buffer overflow in a buffer for strings that has around
65000 characters.
