If you use lists of authors' names for BIB reference keys, the references
won't dump properly. The trouble lies in how the bib macros handle the
reference string, \*([F. It's passed to .IP without being quoted, which
bombs when [F contains more than one word.
The fix is to quote the first argument to .IP in the bib macro files in
/usr/lib/bmac. Also in your personal style files if you use any. (Mine
go to great lengths to put the commas inside the quote marks!)
