General ⇒ Harvard style -> TeX Capacity exceeded.

[barbanegra]

Hi everybody.
I've been long having problems when trying to use Harvard dcu style in my dissertation. I've never took the time to analyze it, as plain style works fine, so I've been leaving this for the last steps.

Today I paid some attention to the issue, and haven't been able to resolve it.
Haven't found anything directly related searching the forum or the web, and tweaking the stack values in the conf file didn't improve the outcome.
Therefore, I decided to post here to see if people more savvy than me could help me out with my problem.

Take the following test tex file as input, for instance:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,pdftex]{book}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage[dcucite]{harvard}

\begin{document}

\section{TEST}
Just a bunch of references:
\cite{Mellor2004}
\cite{Mellor2004}
\cite{Hessellund2009,Kelly2008,Mellor2004} 

Let me put some text around here.
\cite{Brown2005} 
\cite{Mellor2004}
\cite{Kelly2008}
\cite{Mellor2004}. 

Some more text.

\cite{Kleppe2003}
\cite{Mellor2004}
\cite{Miller2003}
\cite{Kleppe2003}
\cite{Mellor2004}

\cite{Kleppe2003} 
\cite{Ameller2009}
%------------------------   Back matter   ------------------------
\backmatter

\bibliographystyle{dcu}
%\bibliographystyle{plain} 

\bibliography{Test_Biblio} 
%\bibliography{Biblio_Capitulo_MD} 
\end{document}

If I count correctly, that's 7 different references, some of them repeated multiple times.
Running PDFLaTeX on this file causes a:

Code: Select all

! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=30000].

Using plain style works perfectly. BibTeX also runs smoothly (reason why I dind't post this in the BibTeX forum), so I guess the bib file is fine.
The plain style works fine even on the whole dissertation (350+ refs), the Harvard style is not working with this few.

Here's what I did already, to no avail:
-Multiplied by ten the value of the stacks (stack_size, ocp_stack_size) in /usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, couldn't find any variable with the stated limit (30000).
-Reinstalled texlive-bibtex-extra.
-Remade the bib file.

Any ideas on what can be the cause of the problem?.
I'm running Kile 2.0.85 in Kubuntu 11.04.

I attach the bib file:

Hi Barba,

I tested the tex file with the bib file and it compiled without errors. I used harvard.sty version 2.0.5. Perhaps check your version and update if necessary.

Hi Stefan, thanks a lot for you answer.

I've been doing some more tests, and found that (at least in the example I posted) the problem is caused by the

Code: Select all

url = {http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?omg/03-06-01},

in Miller2003. If I shorten it to

Code: Select all

url = {h},

I still have the same issue, so is not a character, but the presence of the non-empty url field. If I either delete it or leave it empty, I get no errors.

The funny thing is I got the 2.0.5 harvard package too.
I'll try this tomorrow on a windows machine and see if I have the same problem.
Thanks for your help.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

I tested it indeed on a Windows machine, where it worked. Btw. I'm not sure if I can come here the next days, because I'll be travelling for some days.

Found the "cure" here: http://huang-nao.blogspot.com/2009/05/h ... iktex.html

I add it here, so that people coming after me can use it.

...The problem is the old \harvardurl command is not compatilbe with new versions of other relative packages, I guess.
The solution is, redefine \harvardurl command after include harvard package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{harvard}
\renewcommand{\harvardurl}{URL:\url}

[/i]

It makes my dissertation compile with harvard style references in windows and linux.
Thanks for your help, Stefan!.

Barba
