[OS X TeX] BiBTeX problems

[Claus Gerhardt]

I am planning to update the shell scripts in ~/Library/Flashmode/bin  
which include all shell scripts in the TS bin in the near future. But  
for those, who want an immediate fix, I recommend to update the shell  
scripts in ~/Library/Flashmode/bin and copy that bin folder to ~/ 
Library/TeXShop as well.
