I've attached an archive containing the script and the input.
Just execute:

  ./extract-bib-files.sh

The bug doesn't always occur, and one may need more than 10 tries.
I've also managed to get a strace output with:

  strace -f -o str.out ./extract-bib-files.sh

(this was more difficult to reproduce) and attached the result.

Yes, I can also reproduce the bug with version 2.55 from wheezy.
