BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ strange problem with biblist

[giraf]

I print a rather large (181KB) bibliography using biblist package and MiKTeX 2.7 under Windows XP.
Some fields in just one item close to the end are ignored, as shown by the following .blg file. The item is printed without the ignored fields. The items that follow are correctly printed. It cannot be a syntax error in the item: if I replace the item with another one from the file, the replacement (and only it) is similarly affected. It is clearly connected to position in the .bib file.
Did anybody experience this?

Post the offending item and those surrounding it, just to check if there is really no syntax problem. Which bibliography style you use?

Can you try with BibTeX8? This looks to me like you are hitting one of the limits of BibTeX, and BibTeX8 gives a much more helpful error message.

Thanks, Joseph!

You were right. BiBTeX hit a limit.
BiBTeX8 gave a clear answer:

Sorry---you've exceeded BibTeX's pool size 65530
Aborted at line 5162 of file All.bib

It works beautifully with option -B.

Hey,

I had the same problem, but I have no idea how to use bibtex8. I read the README at CTAN, but I don't understand what to download and where to save

Hope anybody can help me..
