I invested that a bit, it comes from the following code
if (Glob_Str_Size > Buf_Size)
bad = 100 * bad + 11;
before the value is 0, after that 11. That means that the Buf_Size
has to be adapted. It is set in bibtex8/utils.c to BUF_SIZE which
is defined in bibtex. to 10000.
So the natural fix would be to change
#define BUF_SIZE 10000
to
#define BUF_SIZE 20000
after which the tests run through without any problem.
I guess the same fix has to be done for bibtexu/bibtex.h to get it
working there, too.
Any comments?
Best wishes
Norbert
